Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray said the 'Law of Averages' had finally swung in his favour after he saved five match points to defeat Jiri Lehecka at the Qatar Open on Friday and reach a first ATP Tour final since June last year.The 35-year-old Briton has shown great resilience during his run to the final in Doha and his latest victory was his fourth three-set win in four games, which included comeback wins over Lorenzo Sonego and Alexandre Muller.
"I had multiple conversations with my team in the middle to the end part of last year, and I lost lots of close matches. "If I kept working hard and kept improving just a little bit, then those matches would change. So I'm glad that I was right with that, and I hope it continues."
