Andy Murray Gets a Win on His Birthday

Andy Murray was pleased with his 25th birthday win over David Nalbandian which got him off to a good start in Rome – but the Scot then began to wonder what other surprises were ahead for him on the big day.

“I hope they (his travel team) have something planned back at the hotel, I don’t know yet I haven’t opened my presents, but I hope they’ve got something for me,” he said after outlasting Nalbandian in two and a half hours 6-1, 4-6, 7-5.

A linesman tried to spoil the cheer by calling Murray out for swearing, which was reported to the chair umpire and resulted in a warning, a common practise.

“I swear on court regularly. I try not to, but sometimes you forget where you are,” said the Scot. “I know it’s a mistake, but I also understand a lot of what he (Nalbandian) said from my time in Spain.

“But because what we say is in English we’re the ones who get the warning. I think what came out of my mouth today was not as bad as the translation of some of the things that he said but, it’s not right, regardless.”
