Murray told BBC Sport, “It was a tough match. I made it hard for myself in the second set.”
“For me, it’s nice,” Murray said of the British success. “I know all of them fairly well.
“I’ve obviously spent a lot of time training with James, really more the last 12, 18 months. Aljaz I don’t know so well. Heather obviously had a good win today, too. Liam’s a nice guy. He’s good fun to be around.”
“It’s good for British tennis. The more wins and more players we can have in these events, it makes a difference,” he also added.

Two times champion Rafael Nadal was in imperious form as he dispatched Thomaz Bellucci 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 in 2 hours and 11 minutes. This is Brazilian’s fifth straight loss to Nadal in straight sets. Nadal hit only one ace and made five double faults during his first round match.

Spaniard said after the match that, “It was a very positive victory.”
