Andy back in his comfort zone

Andy Murray admitted it was easy to get back in the old routine with Ivan Lendl after the world No 2's coach watched him battle to a 7-6 (8), 7-6 (1) victory over Nicolas Mahut at Queen's Club on Tuesday.

Murray is back working with Lendl two years after they parted ways, and their winning start has earned the defending Queen's champion a second round meeting with Aljaz Bedene in an all-British clash on Thursday.

It will be the only time Murray has ever faced a British opponent at tour level on home soil and the first time anywhere since he lost to Tim Henman in Bangkok in 2006.
