		</div><p>Andy Murray admitted he had struggled with the pace of the court early on after he continued his comeback from hip surgery with a first-round win over Juan Ignacio Londero at the Shanghai Masters.</p>
<p>Murray recovered from a poor first set to beat Argentinian qualifier Londero 2-6 6-2 6-3.</p>
<p>The Scot, who returned to singles action at the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati in August and reached the quarter-finals of the China Open last week, will play Italy’s 10th-seeded Fabio Fognini in round two.</p>

<p>Murray, quoted on atptour.com, said: <em>“The court is by far the fastest conditions that I have played in since I came back.</em></p>
<p><em>“I really struggled with that early on. I was mistiming the ball. I felt quite slow on the court, and he was pretty much dictating all of the points.</em></p>
<p><em>“I managed kind of early on in the second set to start putting a bit more on my ball, going for my shots a little bit more and just trying to hit through the court a bit more, get him on the defensive, which I did pretty well.”</em></p>
<p>A series of forehand errors saw Murray – currently ranked 289th in the world – slip to an early deficit against world number 56 Londero, who converted two of five break-point opportunities in the opening set and held off all three on his own serve, to take a commanding lead.</p>
<p>Murray’s expectations were clear in the way he vocally and visibly expressed his frustration after struggling to make the desired impression.</p>
<p>But he was much improved in the second as he returned the favour, breaking his increasingly vocal opponent twice while not allowing him any openings on his own serve.</p>
<p>Murray squandered an early advantage in the deciding set when, having broken Londero to love to establish a 3-1 lead, he was immediately broken back.</p>
<p>But Murray let out a roar after claiming the third consecutive break and he would hold on for the win, despite falling 40-15 down when he served for the match.</p>

<p>Murray added:<em> “I think each week I have been feeling good, better. In the beginning I didn’t necessarily feel good. But last couple of weeks have been, I think, much improved.</em></p>
<p><em>“My movement overall has been very good in comparison to what it was over in the States, and I’m hoping that’s something that can get a little bit better.”</em></p>
<p>On the prospect of playing world number 12 Fognini, who he leads 4-3 in their head-to-head record, Murray said: <em>“I have always had tough matches with him.</em></p>
<p><em>“He’s not an easy guy to play against. Unbelievably talented guy. Good hand skills. Moves well. A little bit up and down sometimes in his matches, but he’s playing really well.”</em></p>
