Murray said he was happy with his performance and admitted it will take time to return to peak form.

“I moved well in the first set, especially once I got into the rallies,” he told The National newspaper.

“I didn't feel slow at all. In the second I slowed down slightly, but that's something that is going to get better by playing matches. I can't expect to feel great for long periods of matches straightaway. But it was a good workout. You want to play your best, but you need to be realistic and patient. I will play better tomorrow than I did today.” He said.

“I was hitting the ball OK, moving well for the most part. Moving is the most important thing. I just need to be able to do it for a longer period. I just felt like I hadn't played a match for a while.”
