Andy Murray handed tough test in return to special tournament as Antwerp draw confirmed


It was a close encounter, with the 23-year-old managing to beat the Brit 7-6(4) 6-3, and despite losing Murray was positive about his level after the match.

Although he felt inconsistent on the match court at the ATP 250 event back in August, Murray he was playing like someone ranked a lot higher, saying at the time: “My level is around 50 or 60 in the world.”

If the 34-year-old can get revenge on Tiafoe, the tournament’s second seed Diego Schwartzman awaits in the second round.

The current world No.15 has already won an ATP 250 this year, but has a tight turnaround between Indian Wells and the European Open.

Schwartzman beat one of Murray’s fellow Brits Dan Evans 5-7 6-4 6-0 in the third round before eventually falling to new British No.1 Cameron Norrie 6-2 6-0 in the quarter-finals, as the match earned Norrie the spot as top-ranked Brit.
