Andy Murray pays tribute to Elena Baltacha by signing camera with her name

Murray pays tribute to Baltacha

Wimbledon champion Andy Murray showed that Elena Baltacha was not far away from his thoughts after his first match at the Madrid Open on Wednesday.

The Scotsman managed to come through the second-round match against Nicolas Almagro after losing the second set.

Following the match, Murray signed a television camera with the word 'Bally' and a heart in tribute to the former British number one, who passed away last weekend at the age of 30.

Baltacha lost her battle with liver cancer just four months after being diagnosed with the disease.
