(Reuters) - Andy Murray expressed understanding for what Dominic Thiem is going through in his recovery from a wrist injury, after the Scot claimed his first clay victory in five years on Monday to move into the second round of the Madrid Open.

Thiem has struggled for form since he returned to court from an injury which kept him sidelined for eight months and prevented him from defending his U.S. Open crown last year.
