Well done Andy
02/10/2005
Sports Minister Patricia Ferguson today congratulated Scots tennis player Andy Murray on his performance in the Thailand Open on his first appearance in an ATP Tour final.
Murray, aged 18, lost in two sets to Roger Federer but his recent form has seen him claim a place in the top 100 players in the world.
Ms Ferguson said:
"Reaching the final of the Thailand Open was an excellent achievement by Andrew Murray. Im sure it will be the first of many such appearances, and I hope that in the near future he emerges triumphant. "
