Murray Records Victory In Indian Wells Opener To Reach Secon

Former world number one Andy Murray is in the second round of the Indian Wells Masters event.

The Brit defeated Argentina's Tomas Etcheverry 6-7 (5-7) 6-1 6-4 in his first-round match where he won a deciding set for the seventh time this season.

The match lasted for three hours and 12 minutes as Murray had no fewer than 20 break points, 16 of which were saved by Etcheverry.

"I really felt like I was in the driving seat for much of the match," Murray told BBC Sport.

"I was creating lots of opportunities but I just wasn't able to capitalise. I made some poor decisions at times, but in the end, did really well to get through that."

He continued: "I'm not going to keep winning every three-set match that I play, but it's been an amazing start to the year.

"It was still a good effort to turn that around as the first set was extremely long and I was thinking 'here we go again'.

"This is a place where I haven't always played my best tennis so I was really happy that I managed to turn that around."

Murray will next meet Spain's world number 17 Pablo Carreno Busta in the second round on Saturday.
