Murray sees silver lining in Rotterdam exit

Andy Murray said he would draw on “good, positive signs” despite suffering a second-round defeat in Rotterdam this week as the former world No 1 continues his bid to get back to the top of tennis.

The 33-year-old, now ranked 123rd after a series of hip and groin injuries, lost 7-5, 6-2 to in-form Russian Andrey Rublev on Wednesday.

It was always going to be a tough ask against the world No 8, with Murray having lost in the first round of his first ATP event since October in Montpellier last week.
