MADRID (AP) — It’s all starting to click again for Andy Murray. The former No. 1 is feeling good about his game again and confident he’s on track to getting back to his best after having hip surgeries in 2018 and 2019. Evidence that he is improving came with solid wins over Dominic Thiem and 14th-seeded Denis Shapovalov at the Madrid Open in his first matches on clay in nearly two years. Murray didn’t know what to expect coming into the tournament but says he’s happy with how he played. He’ll face top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the third round.
