Andy Murray happy after another comeback
The Scottish-born tennis player lost in the first set of the match against Tomas Martin Etcheverry, but was able to turn the score around. The former world number 1 explained that "in some of the matches I managed to win this year, I feel I was lucky. Today I had a lot of chances in the third set. I wasn't getting them and I was getting very frustrated. The more chances that went by, the more I was thinking. I did very well to keep going until the end. I played another brutal match and I'm glad I got through it. He also commented that the feelings in this start of 2023 are being very positive: "I worked very hard in the preseason to put myself in a great position and I feel very motivated. Even when I've been losing in matches, I'm still fighting and trying to find solutions. I've already won some games that if they had been played last year I wouldn't have won," he concluded.
How does Radu Albot arrive?
The 33-year-old Moldovan tennis player kicked off 2023 by falling in the first round of the ATP Pune in India.

Then he closed the month of February playing the ATP of Doha where he reached the final, winning all the matches in three sets, but he could not win the tournament, as Daniil Medvedev won.
