The British Andy Murray is accumulating merits to promote his recovery and get closer to his former playersone of the best in the circuit, with a convincing victory over Canadian Denis Shapovalov (6-1, 3-6 and 6-2) who will measure number one in the world, Serbian Novak Djokovic.
The duels between Murray and Djokovic are a classic. Then they were one of the top references in world tennis along with Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal. Until injuries, especially to the hip, brought down the Scotsman from the elite and cornered it from the peak moments of the tournaments.
Gradually, Murray shows up again. At the age of 34, he struggles to approach those times that brought him to the top of the world, to win three Grand Slams and two Olympic golds. It may not have reached yet. But he resigned himself to step back and be a part of the past.
On Monday he defeated Austrian Dominik Thiem in his first clay match since Roland Garros in 2020. Now he is joined by Shapovalov, one of the most well -known players today. The Scotsman who clung to the fight until he beat a rival he defeated a few months ago, at Wimbledon in 2021, has not given his arm to twist.
Murray will face Djokovic again, whom he has faced in thirty -six games, although the latter was in the final, in Doha in 2017. The Serbian, who had previously beaten Frenchman Gael Monfils, won twenty -five of them. There will be a classic.
