Andy Murray hailed a perfect start to his ATP World Tour Finals campaign after beating Robin Soderling 6-2 6-4 in the opening singles match at London's O2 Arena yesterday. The 23-year-old played a near flawless first set, marked by 14 winners and only four unforced errors, before clinching the only break in the second set to see off a very dangerous opponent.
Murray said: "I think tactically it was a great match. I think I played very smart tennis today. And even when it was getting tough in the second set, with a lot of long rallies and I was on the defensive quite a lot, I stuck to my tactics well and managed to come through.
"Robin is a great player, a big guy. He's played most of his best tennis indoors. Most of his tournament wins have come indoors. So to win with that scoreline is obviously great."
