"My level is up and down" says Murray after defeat to Tiafoe

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.”
