Del Potro Enjoys Winning Return To Basel

Two-time champion Juan Martin del Potro returned to the Swiss Indoors Basel on Wednesday for the first time since he had beaten Roger Federer in the 2013 final. Apparently there were no hard feelings as a packed crowd in St. Jakobshalle welcomed the Argentine back with a rowdy applause. Del Potro thanked them with his 11th consecutive win in the Swiss city, dismissing Dutch qualifier Robin Haase 6-3, 6-4. The 6'6” right-hander converted all four break points and won nearly 60 per cent of his second-serve points in the one-hour, 22-minute contest.

Murray Tested In Vienna Opener

Andy Murray drew a tricky opponent in the opening round of the Erste Bank Open 500 on Wednesday, but passed the test in beating Martin Klizan 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-0. The win bolstered Murray’s quest to reach World No. 1, as he entered the week only 915 points behind Novak Djokovic (10,600) in the Emirates ATP Race To London and could take over top spot with a strong late-season showing. He improved to 65-9 on the year. Murray had never faced the left-handed Klizan in tour-level action, and the Slovakian looked to take control of the match in the early going. The Brit saved three break points in his first two service games before finding his range and claiming the opener....
