Tsitsipas recovers to win 7-6 (3), 6-7 (2), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4Murray no match for Greek’s best display of the season
Since the start of this year’s grass-court season, the confidence with which Andy Murray has tackled his favourite surface has been striking. Even after all he has endured, Murray consistently maintained that he remains one of the better grass-court players in the world.
During a spectacular second-round contest of the highest quality with Stefanos Tsitsipas, Murray completely backed up his self-belief. Still, confirmation of the high level he is still capable of competing at over five sets will provide him with no joy as his Friday evening ended in heartbreaking defeat.
