Olympic gold-medal winner Andy Murray eked out a victory Saturday against Spain’s Feliciano López, advancing to the next round. In a match that lasted nearly four hours, Murray won the first two sets but slipped in the third before eventually capturing the fourth. “I was struggling a bit physically, and that made it challenging,” Murray admitted after the match.
