Andy Murray faced off against Frances Tiafoe at the Winston-Salem Open but once again failed to win the match.
The defeat was the latest in many disappointments for Murray who simply can't play a great match from start to finish. Similar to his defeat to Hurkacz in Cincinnati, Murray once again played a very good first set where he had set points. In the 2nd he collapsed and his opponent in both matches ran away with it.
Murray was honest after the match saying:
“The positive thing is that I moved well and served well but my level is up and down with no real consistency. There are moments in matches where I play well and then I make mistakes or miss returns. I wish I wasn’t doing that.”
Murray will switch his focus to the US Open where he received a wild card entry hoping to perform as he did last year when he bested Jannik Sinner in 5 sets. However, Murray is not content with the way he is playing saying:
“My level is around 50 or 60 in the world. It’s frustrating because if I wasn’t moving great and not feeling good physically then I would be a bit easier on myself. But when I’m winning a low percentage of second-serve points, that’s got nothing to do with the physical side of things.”

- THANKS. THAT EXPLAINS THE WIDESPREAD CORRUPTION.
- WTA is an 'American' company.
- Everyone seems to have advice on Coco's serve, yet no one but Coco is trying to fix it! She hired Gavin because he is a expert in bio macanics! Heck he fixed Sabelanka's serve, and her serve was way worst than Coco's, and Saby is the #1 player in the world because of the fix! Give her time dang! She has only been working with Gavin for about 4 months! Rome was not built in a day! Most of Coco's serving issues are mental! Nerves revert her back to erronious ways with the toss! The forehand grip will take more adjusting than the serve as she has done this her whole life! But i see improvements in both with coach Gavin! If Coco is smart she will stick with him and not drop him as soon as the issues are fixed as Saby did! I believe this year we will get 2 grand slams from Coco! And she can make a run for the # 1 ranking! If she can go deep at the Australian open semis or Final( defending quarter points) and repeat at the French she is the best clay court player currently Iga having fallen off and Saby still not the best on the surface. She only has a Wimbeldon 1st round to defend and a U.S.Open round of 16. The sky is the limit. So give her some grace she is working on the issues!
- LIKE RUSSIA AND BELARUSIA, AMERICA SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THESE COMPETITIONS. WHAT IS THE WTA AND ATP WAITING ON? THIS WILL TELL WHO ACTUALLY OWN THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND SHOW JUST HOW CORRUPT THEY ARE.
- Venus Williams should not be given any wild cards. They should be given to younger players only. It is a disgrace to see a senior citizen struggling and moving like a SLOTH out there on court. She looks like Mike Tyson in his last fight. It is a disgrace.
- Old (very old), unimportant, meaningless 'news'. Normally this screams "PAY ATTENTION TO ME". But hard to tell who is seeking the attention??
- A few of the consistent players who had successfully climbed the charts last half of last season look to be for real again (Yastremska, Eala, Lys, Anisimova, and so). Barring injury or exhaustion this could be a Top 20 battle for top spots this season.
- She'll be "stacking" losses.
- Gross, unnecessary, and UNFAIR TO YOUNG COMPETITIVE PLAYERS.
- Thanks for sending It home.
