In the first set, Murray took an early 3-0 lead and successfully saved a break-point. But Arguello's struggle caused the set to last 44 minutes before Murray closed it out with a 6-3 victory. The remaining two sets were no better for the Argentine, who continued to be defeated with scores of 3-6 and 1-6. In the end, Andy Murray defeated Arguello 3-0 (6-3, 6-3 and 6-1).

"In the first set, I didn't have a good feeling, it seemed like something was very difficult. Entering the match in windy conditions and the air was a bit cold, so I started quite slowly. When the wind calmed down a bit in the next two sets, I returned to my playing style," Murray shared.
