Murray, Eubanks among possible starters at Phoenix Challenger

Spoiler:

Andy Murray and Christopher Eubanks are among 10 players from the Top 50 of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings entered in the season's first ATP Challenger Tour 175 event, the Arizona Tennis Classic, which runs from 12-17 March.

The Challenger 175 category, which debuted last year in Phoenix, is held during the second week of select ATP Masters 1000 events.

Players who will compete in Phoenix unless they are still alive in the Indian Wells draw include Murray, Eubanks, Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Marcos Giron, Emil Ruusuvuori, Max Purcell and Jack Draper.

Jan-Lennard Struff, World No. 25, is the highest-ranked player to enter this year's edition of the hard-court tournament, where he was a semi-finalist last year.

The three-time major champion Murray could look to repeat his ATP Challenger Tour success from last year, when he won 15 of 16 matches at that level to claim three titles, including the 175 event in Aix-en-Provence.

Nuno Borges could have an opportunity to defend his Arizona crown, which marked the biggest title of his career. The Portuguese star has since spring boarded to make a stamp on the ATP Tour, having reached the fourth round of last month's Australian Open.

The 2008 and 2009 Doha champion Murray was consistently aggressive in return games and converted three of five break points he earned against the World No. 75 Muller to improve to 25-5 in Doha, where he also reached the championship match in 2007, 2017 and 2023. The Briton was happy to snap his six-match losing streak.

“Obviously the past few months have been really tough on the court for me,” said Murray in his on-court interview. “I’ve not won many matches and lost a lot of close ones as well and it was getting tight at the end there as well, so obviously delighted to get through.

“Just proud that I managed to get through the match, get another win under my belt, and I’m happy for my team who have been working extremely hard with me in trying to find solutions to get me through this difficult moment. Hopefully this is the start of a better run.”


Murray acknowledged he was expecting a tough battle in a generational matchup with Mensik in the second round.

“I saw a little bit of his match today,” said the 46-time tour-level titlist. “He’s obviously a very promising young player with a huge serve. Moves well for a big guy, and he’s new on the Tour so every tournament, every match will be a learning experience and a great opportunity for him to show his stuff. I’ll need to be ready for that.”

Murray overhauls Shapovalov in Dubai for 500th hard-court win

Spoiler:

Andy Murray held firm for a three-set win against Denis Shapovalov on Monday at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. In the process, the Briton earned himself membership of an exclusive club.

Murray prevailed 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-3 against Canada's Shapovalov to seal his 500th tour-level win on a hard court. The only other players who have achieved that feat in the Open Era are Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal.

“It’s not bad,” said Murray of his achievement in his on-court interview. “Obviously hard court has been a great surface for me over the years and 500 is a lot of matches so I’m very proud of that. There are not many players that have done that, so great to get to 500 before I’m done.”

Shapovalov edged a tight first set with a late break before Murray raised his game to level in the second-set tie-break at the ATP 500. He then broke the Canadian twice in the deciding set as he wrapped a two-hour, 32-minute win to take a 2-1 lead in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series.

“Both of us haven’t won too many matches lately,” said Murray. “He missed a large part of last year. He’s obviously played well here in the past and he’s serving unbelievable. You need to try and get the balance right between reacting to his big shots, but not just trying to get balls in the court. It wasn’t easy, but I managed to get it done in the end.”

Murray is now 18-5 in Dubai, where he lifted the trophy in 2017. His second-round opponent in the U.A.E. will be one of two Frenchmen — fifth seed Ugo Humbert or wild card Gael Monfils.
