Murray’s Geneva Open reprieve is brief before first-round defeat
Andy Murray, of Great Britain, reacts after losing a game against Yannick Hanfmann, of Germany, during the men's singles first round of the ATP 250 Geneva Open tournament in Geneva, Switzerland, May 21, 2024

ANDY MURRAY’S reprieve at the Geneva Open proved a brief one as he played just three games before losing in the first round to Yannick Hanfmann.

Murray had trailed the German by a set and a double break on Monday evening when impending storms sent the players from the court and brought play to an early end.

And Hanfmann took care of business under sunny skies this lunchtime, needing barely 10 minutes to wrap up a 7-5 6-2 victory.
