Murray enjoys big win in Belgium

Andy Murray said his first singles title win since his career-saving hip surgery in the European Open final was one of his biggest. The 32-year-old three-time Grand Slam winner was competing in only his seventh tournament since returning to singles tennis in August. Following a gruelling week, it looked like Murray would finish up empty-handed at the Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium, as opponent Stan Wawrinka eased into a first set lead. But the Scot stormed back to level the tie and claimed the third set to secure a 3-6 6-4 6-4 win in two hours and 29 minutes. It is Murray’s first ATP title since he triumphed in Dubai two years ago and the former world number one said: “It means a lot. The past few years have been extremely difficult. “Both me and Stan have had a lot of injury problems in the past couple of years. Amazing to be back playing against him in a final like that. I think it was a great match.” Murray, who started the week down at 243 in the rankings, added on the ATP website: “This is one of the biggest wins that I’ve had after everything. I’m very proud of the win this week and I’ve enjoyed my time here.”
