ANDY MURRAY talked of his pride at reaching another final despite going down in two sets to Russian ace Daniil Medvedev at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open.

Murray, 35, was looking to claim his first ATP Tour title since 2019.
But he still reflected favourably on his work in the desert, despite the final not going his way.

“Daniil is one of my favourite players to watch and one of the best players on the tour.
