Murray relieved after surviving tense opener

ANDY MURRAY took his place in the second round of Wimbledon but only after a tense opening match against American Robert Kendrick last night.

The British number one eventually triumphed 7-5 6-7 6-3 6-4 against a man who had not won a game against him the last time they played on grass.

It was a performance which will have raised a few doubts and maybe also lowered a few expectations on Murray.
