Andy Murray showed he remains a great ball striker in emotional comeback win at Queens

Daily Mail  

Andy Murray has had to publicly fight against the tears numerous times in his career, sometimes more successfully than others. Andy Murray made a winning return in his first singles match on grass for three years An emotional Murray came through his comeback match unscathed on Tuesday Not a single dry eye in the place 😢 Beautifully said, @andy_murray 👏#cinchChampionships pic.twitter.com/eg8JF4Y8K9 — Tennis TV June 15, 2021 Beating a troubled and desperately out of touch opponent in Benoit Paire at the start of a regular ATP event is not quite of the same magnitude. It is unlikely, but possible that in Friday's quarter-finals Murray could face Dan Evans on the same day that Scotland play England in the Euros. It is the first time that a home quartet has won their opening match at Queen's since Murray made his debut in 2005, with Cam Norrie and Jack Draper playing on Wednesday. 'We actually watched the Scotland match yesterday all together - it's been nice,' said Evans, who now meets France's Adrian Mannarino.
