Andy Murray The Greatest and General Tennis Chat

Recommended Posts

Andy Murray's definitely getting much more support from the crowd than his opponent here, despite him playing an American in North Carolina. I wonder how much of it's in favour of Andy, and how much it's motivated by dislike for Sandgreen.

Anyway, Murray's played reasonably well, but he's losing this one. Just edged out in a tight tie-break for the first set, and had the classic mini wobble at the start of the next one.

He will play a qualifier in the first round and if he advances will play the 3rd seed Norbert Gambos.

If the qualifier beats Andy Murray he will receive 450 euros and three ranking points [emoji23]

He has won 20 of 22 points so far. The points he conceded was him hitting the net and an outrageous shank from Sibille.

 

Edited to add: Sibille wins another point and Murray takes the set on the luckiest net cord ever [emoji23]

A very generous game from Murray in the sixth of the second means it finishes 6-0 6-1.  Sibille was playing his first senior match, having only played the Futures tour previously.  Murray will play Gambos either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Sibille looked like a wee boy playing his dad, going for the big shots all the time, and as you say, the game he won was generous, although there were a few games earlier where he had got himself well into points only to chuck them away with silly errors.

Hopefully he learned plenty from the experience.
