Murray an unimpressive winner.
by bahamaderek on Nov.05, 2009, under Andy Murray
Andy Murray moved into the last eight of the Valencia Open after surviving a tougher than expected workout against world number 64 Leonardo Mayer in Spain tonight.
The top-seeded Scot produced an inconsistent performance in his second match since a six-week injury lay-off, but came good in the decider to win an entertaining tussle 6-4 3-6 6-3.
Murray struggled to get into his rhythm from the start, while Mayer served confidently until the ninth game – which the Scot seized on his first break-point chance, before serving out to take the set.
The second set proved a disaster for Murray, who let his concentration suffer and found himself 4-0 down against an opponent clearly gaining in confidence with each game.
