Andy Murray made a winning return to action on Tuesday, easing into the second round of Queen’s with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over France’s Benoit Paire.

The five-time former champion took a wild card into the ATP 500 event in London, his first singles tournament since March, but needed just 64 minutes to seal the victory.
