Andy Murray's new coach Ivan LendlIvan Lendl believes a grand-slam breakthrough is a real possibility for his charge as the Brit prepares to take on world No. 1 Novak DjokovicNovak Djokovic in the Australian Open semi-finals.

Djokovic defeated Murray in the 2011 Australian Open final, and also leads the world No. 4 6-4 in head-to-head encounters. However, Lendl believes a new year could signal the start of something special for Murray and says Melbourne could be the ideal place for the Scot to turn around his grand slam fortunes.

"The ranking says (Djokovic) is No. 1 so people think he can win," Llendl said. "I think anyone is beatable. If you don't think anyone is beatable then you shouldn't be playing. All the top guys - whether it's Roger (Federer), who has won 16, or Rafa (Nadal) or Novak with his great year last year, or Andy - are good enough to win if you get enough opportunities.

"I totally disregard what was the perception of Andy - losing to Federer at the US Open, arguably the best player of all time, losing to him here and then losing to Novak. If instead of here, Andy had played that US Open against Novak, nobody would have criticised him because we couldn't know at that time just how good Novak would become and the year he would have. Andy lost that final in three sets. It happens.

"Look at the quality of the opponents in his finals. It's not as if he lost to someone ranked 10 in the world. Similar to me, I lost to (Bjorn) Borg on clay; he was winning his sixth French Open at that time and I was 21 years old. Actually, it was an upset I got to the finals. Then I played (Jimmy) Connors who had been in five Open finals, and here with Mats (Wilander) it was a little different because I didn't know how to handle it on the grass (the Australian Open was played on grass until 1988). I was coming in, he was staying back and I couldn't hurt him and that was bad. Watch Novak Djokovic Vs Andy Murray Online 2012 Australian Open Semifinals
