Loki Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Yeah I wouldn’t go as far as saying it was a vintage performance. It was certainly a good performance but at times he just went missing. Lots of errors early on to continually put pressure on his own serve, but was pretty aggressive and by the end he was ticking over very well. Will most likely play Wimbledon semi finalist Hurkacz in the next round, albeit he has a hard match against Fokina to navigate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early doors in both men's careers I think Gasquet beat him a few times. Around this time of year actually, the Cincinnati and Canada Masters before the US Open. Possibly once at the French too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely looked more composed than some of his recent matches and he was striking he ball very well on the backhand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He famously lost after being two sets up against Murray in the French and also at Wimbledon. Gasquet beat Murray in his first singles match after the resurfacing of his hip. Also in the first two matches of their rivalry at the Masters of Canada and Paris. The Paris loss stopped Murray qualifying for the ATP finals for the first time. He also lost to him in Rome under Lendl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I thought Murray did okay yesterday, he really should have won the first set. He missed a forehand on set point. And if he wins the first set he probably takes the match. Match rust is halting him, so hopefully a kind draw in the US Open could see him get a few more matches. Although Novak in the first round would be interesting. With the pull outs from the US Open there will be opportunity for lower ranked players. Thiem and Federer will leave the top 10 soon, now ranking points start to drop off normally again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Yeah it was a bit easy in the end, but fair play to Noah Rubin he had lost in qualifying to Lucas Pouille in a three set match half an hour earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Currently watching him play Tiafoe, early in the first set. Murray is no longer a brick wall, that's for sure. If he can get through this there's no-one ranked above 59 in this path to the quarters, or 42 until the final, so he has the chance to string some matches together if he can stay fit and play well. Tiafoe's only ranked 51 but he's capable of being very dangerous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
