Australian tennis player Li Tu speaks to Caroline Barker about his hopes of replacing Andy Murray in next month’s Australian Open. Tu was a top junior player and represented his country in the Davis Cup before falling out of love with the sport and taking a six year break. The 24-year-old returned to competition in August and is the in-form domestic player in Australia after winning a number of tournaments. He doesn’t have a world ranking, but that hasn’t stopped people in Australia calling for him to receive the wildcard that Murray has given up.
