'proud' murray earns first win of 2024

Andy Murray had not won since a first-round victory at the Swiss Indoors Basel event in October 2023

Andy Murray earned his first win of the 2024 season with a superb performance to beat France’s Alexandre Muller in the Qatar Open first round.

Britain’s Murray ended a six-match losing streak with a 6-1 7-6 (7-5) victory over the world number 75.

A manic celebration showed what it meant to the 36-year-old, who also raised his arms in relief when reminded it was his first victory of the year.

Murray, ranked 50th, plays 18-year-old Czech Jakub Mensik in the second round.

“Obviously the last few months have been tough on the court for me, I’ve not won many matches and lost a lot of close ones, so I’m delighted to get through,” said Murray.

“I’m proud I managed to get through the match, get a win and hopefully this is the start of a better run.”
