Murray took the first set in 6-3 but Otte came from behind to win the following two sets 6-4, 6-4. The duo seesawed until the center court closed its roof and turn on the lights as Murray wrapped the game up 6-4, 6-2.
Murray said the win meant a lot to him as he had been suffering many setbacks while trying to come back after the injuries.
"It's tough obviously going out and playing matches of that length when you know you have not had many matches, not had loads of preparation and not played a whole lot of grass court tennis in four years," said Murray, who played for the first time at Wimbledon since 2017.
