The Guardian and the Daily Mail both report that Murray was “back with a bang”.
Speaking after the match Murray told the BBC: “It was brilliant. I enjoyed it a lot. I was a bit slow at the beginning and got better as the match went on.
“I’m fortunate to be back playing again. Leading up to the match I was quite relaxed but I was a bit nervous when we started walking to the court.
“You want the nerves and the butterflies in the stomach and I had that.”
