Murray wins in Vienna

Andy Murray earned his first victory against a top-10 opponent in 14 months by defeating Hubert Hurkacz 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3 on Monday in the opening round of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna, Austria. Murray missed a match point on Hurkacz’s serve in the second-set tiebreaker but the former No. 1 rallied from a break down in the final set to wrap up the win after more than 2 hours, 40 minutes. It was the Brit’s first top-10 win since beating Alexander Zverev at the Cincinnati Masters in August 2020, and his first win of the season against a player ranked in the top 20. Third-seeded Matteo Berrettini advanced with a 7-6 (2), 6-3 win over Australian qualifier Alexei Popyrin. Berrettini didn’t face a break point in the match and broke Popyrin at 3-2 in the second set before closing out the win on his first match point.
