ATP Rotterdam: Andy Murray ATP Rankings – Andy Murray marked his return to the top 100 for the first time since 2018 with a 7-6 (8/6), 6-4 win over Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik at the Rotterdam tournament on Wednesday. Former world number one, and three-time major winner, Murray had too much court guile for world number 31 Bublik who won his maiden ATP title in Montpellier at the weekend. “There were some tough moments in the first set for both of us,” said wildcard Murray, now at 95 in the world.
