Andy Murray chalked up his first win since returning to action after a three-month injury lay-off by defeating Switzerland’s Stanislas Wawrinka 6-3, 6-4 in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
Murray had back surgery in September and did not play again until he lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarter-finals of the Mudabala World Tennis Championship exhibition tournament on Thursday.
Wawrinka lost to David Ferrer and the match between him and Murray was to decide who would finish fifth in the unofficial three-day tournament. “It was good to get two matches against top players,” he said. “It’s been a perfect start and hopefully I’ll get better.”
