Tennis star Andy Murray beats Jesse Huta Galung
Scottish tennis star has made a successful return to the court when he beat Jesse Huta Galung 6-4 6-4 at the Open 13 in Marseilles.
It was the first time Andy Murray, 20, had played since he missed out on Great Britain's Davis Cup tie with Argentina because he had been advised that swapping surfaces could cause a knee injury to flare up.
Now in his comeback game after five straight breaks of serve, Andy Murray held kept in command to win the first set.
Then in game eight of the second set he battled back from 0-40 to claim victory, and after taking the next two as well he went forward to set up a tie with Sebastien Grosjean or Stanislas Wawrinka.
Because Andy Murray had decided on missing the Davis Cup tie in Buenos Aires some of his team-mates including his brother Jamie Murray were upset by this. Jamie Murray had said: "If he wanted to really push himself he could have come here."
Andy Murray had not spoken publicly since he pulled out of that event so it was a very welcome sight to see him back again.
