Andy Murray vs Holger Rune LIVE: Result and reaction from pre-Wimbledon exhibition

Andy Murray will serve first.

He lands his first up the centre, but reliniquishes control of the point with a shallow forehand. Rune overcooks his drop shot but still draws an error, Murray prodding into the top of the net. 0-15.

A swiped forehand return levels things up, but Rune produces a beauty across court, beating a grunting Murray, whose lunge isn’t long enough to retrieve a nicely controlled forehand winner.

But a second error on that side gifts Murray another point. That’s pushed long, too - 40-30.

Murray just struggling a little to get down, it would appear, conceding deuce with a slightly stiff slice backhand as Rune moves towards the net.

But a well managed point earns the Scot another chance to close out the opening game, which he duly does as Rune blocks a backhand wide.

Where Murray had to toil, Holger Rune finds things rather easier to get on the board, rushing rapidly to a hold to 15.

A lackadaisical forehand into the net sees Andy Murray fall behind again in his second service game, the veteran not quite putting the power through. Holger Rune, conversely, has the opposite problem, launching into an attempted forehand winner and biffing it a foot too far.

The two trade points to deuce, before Murray raises a hand of apology after swatting an overhead winner into a spectator in the second row. No harm done, it would appear, and the game is his as Rune lifts a lob long.

One of the line judges lets out an almost anguished cry as what looks a smart Andy Murray passing shot skips off the tramline grass. Only an inch or so out, at most.

A tweener! Entirely unneccessary from Holger Rune, reflecting the low stakes on this contest, with the Dane happy enough to concede a point at 40-0, knowing he can simply square affairs again with an ace.

Better from Andy Murray, beginning to get those legs moving. He pushes a forehand down the centre as Holger Rune guesses right, wrongly, as the Scot approaches the net.

A serve on the line allows Murray a simple serve-and-volley winner, and the chalk flies again as he slams one down the centre to hold in comfort.

That’s a glorious lob from Andy Murray, an arc of triumph over an eager Holger Rune, who had hurried to the net ready to finish the point off.

And here’s a glimpse for Murray, earning a break point. A second serve, too...emphatically put away by the Dane to shut the door.

Another chance to breach Rune’s service comes and goes in a wafty forehand that ends up in the net’s embrace. Rune eventually holds, but that’s the first time that Murray has really challenged his serve.

Those Andy Murray misses threaten to prove costly as he again falls into difficulty in his next service game, but a backhand across court wrong foots a skidding Rune, saving a break point.

Rune seems mildly surprised when a Murray serve down the centre is called good. There’s no doubt about that one, though, a hint of slice as Rune plays no shot to be aced twice in two points.

Seven games, seven holds.

Tit for tat once more. Four apiece, with Rune clenching a fist of celebration.

Holger Rune breaks! It’s loose from Andy Murray, slicing a low backhand into the net and then double faulting. Rune nudges ahead and will serve for the first set.
