Andy Murray sent long-time rival and friend Roger Federer a brutal text as he returned to the tennis legend's native Switzerland.
Murray is playing in the Swiss Indoors for the first time since 2005 and got off to a winning start on Tuesday as he fought back to see off Romanian qualifier Roman Safiullin. The competition in Basel has become synonymous with Federer, who was once a ball boy before going on to win the title 10 times as a pro.
He remains the reigning champion too as the tournament has not been held since 2019 due to the coronavirus pandemic. This year is the first time the Swiss Indoors has been held since Federer retired at the Laver Cup last month.
