Murray has gone backwards since winning Wimbledon.

Pretty big bit of surgery did him. Don't think he is 100% from that yet and losing Ivan knocked him back a step as well.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I think Murray still has injury concerns. Against Djokovic the other day he put everything into the second set, and seemed to have nothing left when Djokovic raised his game in the third set.

World Tour Finals draw:

Group A: Novak Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka, Tomas Berdych, Marin Cilic

Group B: Roger Federer, Kei Nishikori, Andy Murray, Milos Raonic

Murray bust a gut to qualify for the World Tour Finals over the last 6 weeks........so will be knackered

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Good chance of winning that group I reckon. He has a great recent record vs Fed.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Murray up an early break vs Nishikori.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

And loses it straight away to love! Tit.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nishikori takes an error-strewn first set 6-4.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Murray beaten comfortably in the end, well short of his best.

Djokovic and Wawrinka have destroyed Cilic and Berdych today.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Murray on court now vs Raonic.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Murray breaks first to go 4-2 up. Hopefully he does a better job of consolidating it than he did on Sunday.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Takes it 6-3

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Watching Djokovic yesterday, he looked in superb form. I cannot see anyone beating him if he carries on in that vein.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Up a break in the second set now too.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

And broken back. Sloppy stuff.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Murray to serve for the match...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wins it 6-3 7-5. All on the game vs Fed now and he is already through.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Wins it 6-3 7-5. All on the game vs Fed now and he is already through.

He needed to win in 2 sets tonight to give himself any chance
