(UTV|COLOMBO) – Britain’s Andy Murray beat Mackenzie McDonald 3-6 6-4 7-5 in the Washington Open’s first round in his fourth match following hip surgery in January.
Murray, 31, converted his seventh match point after more than two-and-a-half hours on court against the American.
“Mentally, it was a big one to get through,” said former world number one Murray. “I fought hard and I had to. The movements and stuff were fine.”
He will now play fellow Briton Kyle Edmund, 23, in the second round.
