Andy Murray returned to winning ways at the ATP World Tour Finals following a 6-3 7-5 victory over Milos Raonic at London's O2 Arena.
Murray was blown away in his opening match by Kei Nishikori, but made no mistake against the Canadian by securing a straight-sets victory.
The Scot secured two breaks of serve in the opening set to move one set up in a little over 30 minutes.
Although Murray broke Raonic in the third game of the second set his 23-year-old opponent hit back immediately to square things up.
It was not until the 11th game that Murray secured another break which allowed him to serve for the match.
Although one match point came and went, he secured the contest at the second time of asking when a Raonic shot drifted long.
Roger Federer's win against Kei Nishikori earlier on Tuesday meant Murray knew he had to match that to avoid early elimination.
Murray could beat Federer and still go out depending on the score between Raonic and Nishikori, but equally a loss for Murray would not necessarily eliminate him.
Murray was significantly helped by Raonic's forehand having a major off day, the Canadian making 23 unforced errors off his favoured wing alone. ...SkySports
