Andy Murray Latest and General Tennis Chat

Recommended Posts

Andy Murray starts his Asian campaign on Monday against Zhizhen Zhang a fellow Wild card entry (both currently ranked in the 300s).  The winner to play Goffin in round 2 and then a potential match against Verdasco if he was to get that far.  He will then play the Beijing Open and then that will be the end of his season.

He will then have a prolonged pre-season to get him ready for Australia.

Is he not playing the Shanghai or Paris masters? Or is his ranking too bad for entry?

If he wanted entry he could have used his protected ranking, but he is definitely not playing those events  PR allows you to enter thirteen events directly.  As far as I know he has only done this once at the US Open.  All other events he has been offered a Wild Card.  Himself and Wawrinka are in a great position where they will be offered Wild Cards due to their reputation and what they have done for Tennis.

He looked solid, particularly on the forehand.  Hitting it clean and deep, putting Goffin in all sorts of bother.  Verdy will be a tough test as per the Open last month.

He  announced after the US Open the two tournaments in China would finish his season.  He picked up a slight knee injury in Sheznen so elected to miss Beijing.  Won't be seen until January.

Djokovic is back in Zen mode.  He is back to his best and will not lose another match this year.  From January it will all be on Amazon Prime who have hired the good co-commentators and have hired people from tennis podcasts that know the game, rather than give Inverdale a gig.

Presume Wimbledon stays on BBC?
