Zhuhai R2: Andy Murray vs Aslan Karatsev

Quote

Three ultra-quick returns from K and after one BP saved Andy is broken. K is all over him atm.

And again 0:40 and Andy is a double break down. He looks completely worn out.

Andy finally gets on the board.  1-4   Applies icepacks to his thighs at change of ends.  This does not look good.

Comms mentioned how well K played again this year. In this form you can hardly stop him.

Whenever I thought Andy had won the point, K counters.

I remember that final. Andy was totally overpowered.
Yet, he had his chances to win in two after breaking back in the second set. He was leading 30:0 and let K in again. Of course, the third was one-way traffic.

Andy is down for Shanghai, but he could get a wild card for the China Open which starts on the 28th.

I think Andy found the humidity too much, and his serves are always letting him down. On to the next one.

Watched Karatsev play Cam Norrie.  While Cam played better than I've seen him do for a long time, K somewhat predictably wasn't playing near the level he did against Andy but still managed to win both sets 7-5 in the tiebreak.

Yes.
Shame he didn't win.
