NEW YORK - Britain's Andy Murray made a triumphant ATP comeback on Saturday , defeating Frances Tiafoe 7-6 , 3-6, 6-1 in his first match of 2020 at the Western and Southern Open.
Former world number one Murray, now ranked 129th, suffered a pelvic injury at Davis Cup last November and that, combined with the pandemic shutdown, kept him out of competition until he faced 22-year-old Tiafoe in a meeting of wildcard entrants. Tiafoe, ranked 81st, forced the only break point of the first set in the 11th game with a lob winner but Murray dismissed it with a service winner up the middle and held to 6-5 on a second-serve ace.
