Very good performance from Felix Auger-Aliassime to beat Andy Murray 6-3, 6-4 and reach the QFs in Rotterdam. Murray will still comeback to the top 90 next week.
Murray disappoints against Auger-Aliassime at ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam

Andy Murray disappointed against Auger-Aliassime who defeated the Brit in two sets to secure the quarterfinal spot 6-3 6-4.
A lot was expected from the matchup between Murray and Auger-Aliassime but the matchup was largely disappointing because the Brit was largely disappointing. Murray opened up the match with very lacklustre serving and it never changed. Auger-Aliassime jumped out to a 4-0 lead with a double break but Murray was able to pull one break.
He did not manage to pull the other back as Auger-Alissime won the opening one with 6-4. The Canadian served rather well and dropped only 6 points on his first serve. He exploited Murray's 2nd as he had ample opportunity to do so.
Murray played a bit better in the 2nd set but his serving woes still continued. There were not many cheap points for Murray and Auger-Aliassime had plenty of chances to break Murray. The Brit held on initially but dropped his serve midway through the 2nd set to give the Canadian the lead. Felix was playing rather well again winning his service games without much fuss.
Murray put more pressure on Auger in the 2nd set on his 2nd serve but he never quite got the chance to break him. Auger avoided any break points and calmly served out the match with 6-4. It was a very disappointing result for Murray who audibly complained that he could not crack an egg with his serve. His serve truly let him down in a very big match for him.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
