172. Rudy jest w żywym entry po wczorajszym zwycięstwie.

Za mało grinduje, żeby mieć lepszy ranking. Ale pewnie nie chce ryzykować zdrowiem, żeby hasać po czalkach.

Grał w Rennes i go Safiulin ograł.

[Barty]

Ale co ma udowodnić zagranie i wynik w jednym turnieju, skoro piszę o grindowaniu, które wiesz, co oznacza.

Nie ma kiedy grać CH, bo wszędzie mu dają dzikusy. Grał USO, grał CH Rennes, Metz, teraz IW. Nie pamiętam, czy w San Diego też się nie pojawił przypadkiem.

Andy Roddick has given his verdict on fellow former world No 1 Andy Murray’s performance in Indian Wells. The Brit gave Alexander Zverev a tough test in a grudge match between Olympic champions, before going onto lose in two tight sets. It was the first time the German managed to get the better of Murray as he secured a 6-4 7-6(4) victory in their third-round clash.

The three-time Grand Slam champion was playing in Indian Wells for the first time since March 2017, and scored two impressive wins en route to the third round.

After defeating world No 51 Adrian Mannarino in straight sets to begin his campaign in the Californian desert, he recorded an impressive comeback win over 30th seed Carlos Alcaraz.

He then faced third seed Zverev in a highly-anticipated third-round clash on Tuesday.

The current world No 121 had never lost to the recent Olympic gold medallist, and got off to a strong start as he broke at the first opportunity.

However, the German managed to race back and win five games in a row before taking the opener 6-4.

Murray once again led by a break early in the second set before Zverev mounted another comeback, but the Brit raised his level and was able to fend off the 24-year-old, breaking at a crucial time while Zverev served for the match to keep his chances alive.

The Brit ultimately fell 7-4 in the second set tiebreak after losing an entertaining back-and-forth exchange by the net on match point, and despite staying with the world No 4 throughout the match, Murray said he didn’t think he “played well”.

Murray On Clijsters, Norrie & 'Unbelievably Difficult' Antwerp Title

Spoiler:

Scot returns to scene of courageous 2019 victory
Belgian star Kim Clijsters has recently told the media she has been inspired by Andy Murray’s comeback from hip surgery. The Scot returned the praise on Monday ahead of the European Open in Antwerp.

According to the 34-year-old, Clijsters hit on a practice court after him during the BNP Paribas Open, and he was impressed with what he saw.

“She still hits the ball fantastic. I think the decision-making and things like that will come with more matches,” Murray said. “I think physically she can get stronger. I think that was probably one of her biggest strengths when she was at the top of the game and as successful as she was.

“With more time, more matches, more time on the practice court, physically she’ll keep getting better. It’s not easy after such a long time out of the game, but I’m sure she can still win matches at the highest level, judging on how she’s handled herself so well.”

Murray also lavished praise on Cameron Norrie, who on Sunday became the first Briton to win the title in Indian Wells and cracked the Top 20 of the FedEx ATP Rankings.

“I’d be lying if I said that I called that to be honest. However, I have spent a decent amount of time around him and practised with him quite a lot and he works extremely hard. And I think he’s a great example not just for British players, but all tennis players to look at,” Murray said. “If you put the effort in day-in and day-out and properly dedicate yourself to the sport and have an attitude like he does, it can take you a long, long way. It was obviously a phenomenal achievement last night, but I think the season that he’s having is maybe more impressive than that one week.”

Norrie is up to 10th in the FedEx ATP Race To Turin as he tries to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals, the season-ending event. The lefty has won 47 tour-level matches this year.

“Every week he’s winning matches. I think he’s played six finals. I think it’s looking like he’s going to win more matches on the Tour this year than he had in every season that he’d had beforehand combined,” Murray said. “That shows you how much of an improvement he’s made. I knew he was good, I’d played against him and practised with him, but to be Top 20 in the world and pushing for a spot in the Tour Finals is an incredible effort.”

Murray will try to make his own mark this week in Antwerp, where two years ago he enjoyed a dream run to the trophy for his first title following hip surgery. In an emotional final, he defeated Stan Wawrinka to earn the crown.

“It was obviously a bit unexpected at the time. I spoke a bit about it at the time, but I’d won maybe what would be considered bigger tournaments, but this was one of the hardest that I had to win in terms of everything that I’d went through and I put my body through to get to that point,” Murray said. “It was tough. Obviously winning Wimbledon, it was the pressure and everything and it was obviously unbelievably difficult.

“But to win a tournament at this level with a metal hip and everything that had gone into that in the previous years, it was a long road, so I have good memories from here.”

The Scot will play American Frances Tiafoe in the first round, with second seed Diego Schwartzman looming in the second round.

Murray Saves 2 MPs, Battles Past Tiafoe In 3-Hour, 45-Minute Classic

Spoiler:

Former World No. 1 advances to play second seed Schwartzman
Andy Murray may have a metal hip, but it was tough to tell based on his effort Tuesday at the European Open.

Murray battled past Frances Tiafoe 7-6(2), 6-7(7), 7-6(8) in a three-hour, 45-minute marathon to reach the second round in Antwerp. It was the longest best-of-three-set match of 2021, breaking the mark set by Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Barcelona final (3:38).

“I think that’s the first time in my career I’ve played a 7-6, 6-7, 7-6 [match]. I don’t think I’ve ever played a match like that,” Murray said in his on-court interview. “I think it’s the longest three-set match I’ve played by quite a distance. I’m tired right now, obviously it was an unbelievable battle.”


The former World No. 1 clinched the victory on his second match point. He hit a backhand drop shot that Tiafoe was unable to retrieve. The 23-year-old's sprint took him to the Scot’s side of the net, where the pair shared a warm embrace.

“Nowadays obviously my body is old now. I’ve played a lot of matches on the Tour. I don’t mind playing long matches, but that was taking it to another level,” Murray said. “Brilliant match, amazing atmosphere, thanks to everyone who came and supported. It’s just so nice to be back and playing in front of crowds again.”

Murray has now won his opening match in five consecutive tournaments at all levels. He had to scratch and claw throughout against Tiafoe, who was the better player for a good portion of the match.

The American served for the opening set twice, needed six set points to win the second set, led by a break in the decider and held two match points in the final-set tie-break. But Tiafoe failed to put a return in play on those two match points, and Murray took full advantage.

“He kept coming up with brilliant serves and great shots when I was getting chances,” Murray said.

Tiafoe was the more aggressive player and he frequented the net to finish points against the 46-time tour-level titlist, who raised his level in the important moments. Murray over the years has proven himself one of the best players on the ATP Tour in cat-and-mouse points, but the American showed no fear of entering those patterns, either.

But Murray struck 21 aces to stay in contact with his opponent and saved seven of the 10 break points he faces to set a second-round clash against second seed Diego Schwartzman for a place in the Antwerp quarter-finals.

Murray memorably won the European Open in 2019 following his most recent hip surgery. In that edition, he defeated former World No. 3 Stan Wawrinka in the final.

Ogrom pracy wykonał Rudy, pewnie znowu rozpalił w sobie ogień, ale to i tak wystarcza na epiki w pierwszych rundach aż/tylko.

Ale jednak gdyby mi ktoś powiedział, że człowiek ze sztucznym biodrem wciąż będzie ordynarnie grindował i w wieku 34 lat da radę wygrywać blisko 4-godzinne pojedynki to bym nie uwierzył.
