LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray fought back from a set down to beat Taro Daniel 1-6 6-2 6-4 in the first round at Indian Wells as he secured a 700th win on the ATP Tour.
The Briton passed up two break points in the third game before Daniel took the first set in 28 minutes.
A more aggressive Murray won the second set only to drop his serve in the first game of the decider.
Murray regrouped, levelled at 3-3 with a brilliant forehand and broke Daniel at 5-4 up to take the match.
He will now play Kazakhstan’s world number 33 Alexander Bublik in the next round.
The match was the third time Murray had played Japan’s Daniel this year.
Daniel came out on top in the second round at the Australian Open before Murray won at the Qatar Open.
