"It's great to be healthy and competing" admits Andy Murray after another win

Another match played for Andy Murray and yet another convincing victory. The British player is starting to play good and consistent tennis which hasn't been the case for a while. Murray took down Denis Kudla in two sets making a winning start to the event. After the match, he shared his thoughts:

"Well, first and foremost, it's great to be on the court, sort of healthy and competing like week after week for the first time," Murray said in his post-match interview on court. Yeah, really, for the first time since 2017, it's been a long time and I'm starting to feel better with each match."

Murray did not have a lot of luck with draws recently especially at the US Open where he had to face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round. He admitted as much highlighting that his ranking is not a priority despite the tough draws:

"The rankings, you know, it's not the number one priority. But I've had some tough draws in the last few months. Obviously, your ranking gets high enough and you can start to get seeded and eventually you avoid that. So, yeah, I want to try and win and push my ranking up to give myself a better chance of having a deep run in some of the major tournaments again."
