Murray, 20, returned to the court in New York on Monday fully fit for the first time since injuring his right wrist in a tournament in Hamburg in May and eased into the US Open with a straight-sets victory over Uruguayan qualifier Pablo Cuevas, dropping just five games in the process.

"I think I sort of learned to appreciate playing tennis again," Murray said. "I was getting angry on court about things that weren't really necessary."

He added: "I was playing great tennis this year and still wasn't really that happy when I was playing.

"I think the biggest thing for me was if you go and look at videos of my matches at Wimbledon 2005, when I played here in 2005, my attitude and body language was excellent.

"Then last year it's not been as good. I've been showing more negative signs than I have positive.

"So I learned just to enjoy playing again because I missed such a big chunk of this year.

"I can play great tennis and I should enjoy it more.

"That's probably the reason I was a bit more relaxed or looked calmer (against Cuevas)."

Murray can now look forward to a second round encounter with veteran Swede Jonas Bjorkman.
