Andy Murray makes triumphant return with singles win at Citi Open

In a stunning display of skill and determination, Andy Murray secured his first singles victory since Wimbledon by defeating American Brandon Nakashima in straight sets at the prestigious Citi Open in Washington. The 36-year-old British player had suffered a disappointing loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas last month, but he bounced back with an impressive 7-6 6-4 triumph.

Murray expressed his satisfaction with his performance, stating, “I thought I did well from the beginning. Although I struggled a bit on the return due to Nakashima’s exceptional serving skills, especially his second serve. However, I managed to stay solid and capitalized on some mistakes he made towards the end of the tie-break.”

The experienced Scotsman highlighted that both court conditions and slow balls made every game challenging and required him to put in immense effort. He emphasized how difficult it was to finish points quickly under such circumstances but acknowledged that it was indeed gratifying to overcome these obstacles.

Murray will now eagerly await to face either Taylor Fritz or Zachary Svajda in the last 16 round as he continues his quest for glory at Citi Open.
