De Minaur eliminated Murray at Queen’s, who will not star at Wimbledon

the aussie Alex de Minaur the adventure is over andy murray who was seeded at Wimbledon by defeating him clearly in first round of Queen’s (6-3 and 6-1).

murraywho skipped Roland Garros to prepare for the grass tour, has just won two Challengers in a row, at Surbiton and Nottingham, putting him two wins away, that is, reaching the quarterfinals, to be among the seeded teams for Wimbledon and have a friendly draw in the early rounds.

But De Minaur, a tennis player who knows what it’s like to win a title on this surface, was too much for the Scotsman, who surrendered in less than an hour and a half. Not even being a five-time champion at this tournament – the most in history – was enough of a boost for an exhausted Murray after trying to play three straight weeks without a break.

De Miñaur, who arrived after reaching the quarterfinals in Bolduque, increased his dominance against Murray, whom he has beaten on the four occasions they have met, including last year’s Laver Cup clash.

The Australian will face the Argentine in the next round Diego Schwartzman for a place in the quarterfinals. Murray, who is ranked 38th and could still lose a place depending on the results at Halle and Queen’s, will need a lot of injuries to qualify for seeding at Wimbledon, which starts on July 3.

For the rest of the day, Adrian Mannarino he came from a set down against Liam Broady, who received five invitations to Queen’s but never won a match; jordan thompsona recent finalist in s’Hertogenbosch, easily beating lucky loser Alexei Popyrin; Frances Tiafoewho won the title in Stuttgart, defeating Botic Van de Zandschulp, and Grigor Dimitrov eliminated Emil Ruusuvuori in straight sets.
