Speaking after the match, Andy Murray said: “I was quite nervous at the beginning and I wanted to play well but once I got the break in that first set I think I played some good stuff. There were good signs.”

Murray is now mid-way through his second round match against the fifth seed of the tournament where, after losing the first set, he has taken the next two and leads 6-7 7-6 6-4. Shortly after the Scotsman took the third set, the match was stopped because of the curfew which had been put in place by the local council.
