Andy Murray's quest for a fifth Queen's Club title has begun with a 7-6 7-6 victory over Nicolas Mahut at the Aegon Championships.

The Frenchman, ranked 51st in the world, broke serve first but could not convert the next game from 40-0, and Murray came through a tense tie-break on his third set point to clinch the first set.
Mahut then moved 4-1 up in the second set, but Murray fought back to 5-5 and saved three more set points before dominating the second tie-break.
Murray, who recently agreed to work again with former coach Ivan Lendl, will go on to face fellow Briton Aljaz Bedene or Frenchman Benoit Paire in the second round.
