Murray demolishes Jaziri in Dubai opener

Andy Murray starts his Dubai campaign with a convincing 6-4 6-1 win over world no.1 Malek Jaziri. The Brit had a little awkward moment at the beginning of the match when he conceded his serve in the 3rd game, but then he broke back immediately to win the opener 6-4. The second set was much easier for the world no.1 that eventually won the match 6-4 6-1 after scoring 59 points vs. Jaziri’s 38.

      

 

I didn’t know his game. MURRAY

After the match, Andy conceded that even if he was satisfied with his tennis, he struggled a bit at the beginning to adjust to Malek’s tennis. The Brit commented

“I was a little bit uneasy, I’ve never hit with him or played against him before. It took a little bit of time to get used to his game.”

Next vs. Garcia-Lopez

Andy will play Gullermo Garcia-L in the 2nd round. The head to head is 2-1 for the Brit, but 1-1 on hard courts. The last time they played each other was back in 2012.
