Murray on slow start against Daniel during Indian Wells opener: "I'm old now so these 11am starts it takes me a bit of time"

Andy Murray began his BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells campaign with yet another clash against Taro Daniel prevailing 1-6, 6-2, 6-4.

It was a slow start for Murray who joked and put that down to his age and playing at a specific time.

"I'm old now so these 11 a.m. starts, it takes me a bit of time to get going," the 34-year-old joked after the match. "But Taro played extremely well. He's started the year very well."

"I managed to start to improve as each set went on and finished off well in the end."

Next up is Alexander Bublik and he will look to do what he did last month in Rotterdam and claim the victory.

"He's a very unorthodox player. He's unbelievably talented, got great hand skills and plays different to a lot of guys on the tour these days," Murray previewed. "He started this year well, but if I play well, I've got a shot."
