Tennis world Number 4 Andy Murray has hailed his continued return to form with the news that he's received a bye in the first round of the Madrid Open this week.
Last month's lighter than expected defeat at the hands of Rafael Nadal in the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters was followed by his unbeaten run in the Barcelona Open - Murray withdrew from the tournament due to an elbow injury.
"Results in the last 3 tournaments have convinced me that I'm getting back to my old self", the 23 year old Scot admitted earlier today.
"The fact I got a bye should not detract from my achievement - everyone needs luck at some stage of their career and its what you do with that luck that sorts the great players from the ordinary".
