Murray takes a Brit of a knock

ANDY MURRAY was beaten by British No.1 Dan Evans in The Battle of the Brits charity tournament yesterday.

Evans was outplayed in the opening set at the National Tennis Centre, London, by Murray (above) – who was playing in his first event for seven months after a pelvic injury – before hitting back to win.

Evans, who won 1-6 6-3 10-8 to set up today’s final with Kyle Edmund, said: “Andy did a lot good in the first set. In the end it came down to the big points. I got a little lucky today but I’m just happy to come through.”

Murray has safely come through four matches in five days, with one more – a third-place play-off against Cameron Norrie – to play today.
