Andy Murray will face Michael Berrer at the Thailand Open after the German won his opening-round clash against Marco Chiudinelli.

Berrer, who lost to the world No. 4 at the French Open, has his chance for revenge against the top seed, after a 7-6(4) 6-3 win in Bangkok.

Murray is playing his first tournament since his controversial comments warning the top players could strike over the demanding ATP Tour calendar. On the hunt for his third title of the season, Murray is playing in the Thai capital for the first time since 2006, when he lost to Tim Henman in the first round.

Should Murray safely negotiate his way past Berrer, the Scot will meet either Grigor Dimitrov or Simone Bolelli in the third round. Dimitrov knocked out fifth seed Ivan Dodig on Monday, while Bolelli booked his place in the second round with a narrow 7-6(5) 7-6(5) win over Ernests Gulbis.
