Andy Murray is back to the court and he’s back blazing, beating Mackenzie McDonald in three sets and in the process setting up a second-round tie against fellow Brit Kyle Edmund at the Citi Open.
“It was a tough, tough match,” Murray said after the game.
“It could have gone either way. Obviously, if you lose a match like that, it’s a tough one.
“When I lost to (Teymuraz) Gabashvili here (three years ago), I lost serving for the match, so I was thinking about that a little bit, too. It is just nice to get through.
“I wasn’t dictating many of the points. I wasn’t hitting the ball that cleanly. I just fought and tried to make it tough for him.
“Made a few little adjustments here and there. But mentally, it was a big one to get through.”
Congrats Murray and welcome back to the court.
