Murray made his competitive return to the tour at the Qatar Open, having been out injured since undergoing back surgery in September 2013.

[1] He faced local wildcard Mousa Shanan Zayed and took only 37 minutes to defeat him, not dropping a single game in the process.

He got his campaign underway in difficult conditions, with temperatures in excess of 40 degrees Celsius, against Go Soeda and saw him off in under 90 minutes, only dropping five games in the process.

Murray struggled against Čilić, playing for the three consecutive days for the first time since surgery, and was unable to find his best form as he crashed out in straight sets.

Matters failed to improve at the Indian Wells Masters as he struggled past Lukáš Rosol[18] and Jiří Veselý,[19] before being eliminated in the fourth round by Milos Raonic in a match where Murray admitted he "wasn't good enough".

[22] After fans queued around the grounds to watch Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka play together, it was standing room only for Murray and Marray's first competitive match together.

Andy Murray and Jonny Marray won a thrilling doubles clash against Gaël Monfils and Juan Mónaco only to lose in the second round to the No 2 seeds Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares.

[23] At the Miami Masters Murray began his title defence with a win over Matthew Ebden, recovering to take 12 of the last 13 games having lost the first set.

Murray opened up with a close three set victory over Nicolás Almagro,[31] but his poor form on clay continued as he lost to qualifier Santiago Giraldo in the following round.

[38] He then returned the next day to take on Fernando Verdasco, but this match proved less troublesome with Murray picking up the win in straight sets.

Despite the momentum seeming to be against Murray, he turned the match round spectacularly to take the final set 6–0 and reach the semi-finals, equalling his best ever result at the French Open.

[42] In their first tournament together, Murray recorded a straight sets win over Paul-Henri Mathieu as he attempted to defend his Queen's Club Championship title.

[46] His first real test was against 27th seed Roberto Bautista Agut, but the Spaniard proved no match for Murray who raced to another straight sets win in just over an hour and a half.

[48] His defence then came to an abrupt halt as Grigor Dimitrov ended his 17 match winning-streak at Wimbledon with a straight sets win, meaning Murray failed to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2008.

[49] Despite his ranking dropping to 10th after Wimbledon,[50] withdrawals from Nadal and del Potro meant that Murray was seeded eighth for the Canadian Open and thus received a first round bye.

[51] Before the tournament began, Murray announced that he would be extending his partnership with Mauresmo until at least the end of the US Open but was ideally looking for a long-term deal.

[67] Murray won in straight sets to record his first win over a top 10 player since his 2013 Wimbledon final victory over Novak Djokovic.
