The organizers made an effort to bring another Grand Slam champion to this year’s Belgrade Open in addition to Stan Wawrinka.
After 14 years since his last participation in the tournament in the capital of Serbia, Jamie Murray arrived in Belgrade.
True, the famous Briton participated in the “Serbian Open” tournament last year, where he won the title in the capital of Republika Srpska in a double with Michael Venus from New Zealand.
On the first day of the competition in Belgrade, in a pair with John Pierce, Murray posted a convincing victory against the pair of O’Connell/Duckworth 7:6(4), 6:1.
Judging by the performance of the Briton, there is no doubt that the Grand Slam champion has arrived in Belgrade in quest of another trophy.
The home audience was delighted to see such a big name of world tennis in action, and there is no doubt that his next match with Pierce will attract even more attention.
