Andy Murray wins first title since 2019
Andy Murray has won his first ATP title in almost four years by beating Tommy Paul in the final of the ATP Challenger event in Aix-en-Provence. The three-time Grand Slam champion came back from a set down against American top seed Paul to win 2-6 6-1 6-2. This is Murray’s first title since winning in Antwerp in 2019, and his first on clay since 2016 in Rome. It is also his first title at the second-tier Challenger level since 2005.
Murray took a late wildcard entry into the tournament to get more clay-court match time before the French Open, following first-round exits from Monte Carlo and Madrid in April. Victory means Murray will rise to 42 in the world when the rankings are updated on Monday – his highest world ranking since May 2018. The French Open, the second Grand Slam of the year, starts on 28 May with Murray aiming to play in it for only the second time since 2017.
