Andy Murray lost in the Australian Open first round, playing way below his best
Tim Henman has advised Andy Murray to consider his situation and make the right decision following another failure! A three-time Major champion Murray experienced a massive blow at the Australian Open on Monday. A five-time beaten finalist at Melbourne Park suffered a heavy 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 loss to the 30th seed Tomas Etcheverry in two hours and 23 minutes at Kia Arena.
Murray lost the 2016 Australian Open final to Novak Djokovic, and his journey Down Under has been a disaster since 2017. Andy has won six matches in Melbourne in the previous eight campaigns, skipping three tournaments due to injuries and never reaching the quarter-final.
The encounter against Etcheverry might be Murray’s last at the Australian Open, having to consider his next steps with his team and family. Henman admitted it was painful to watch Andy looking lost on the court, and the player revealed he did not know how to turn the tables and become more competitive, worrying only about how to stay calm on the court.
Tim Henman backs Andy Murray to seek a solution.
Etcheverry played at a high level, firing almost 40 winners and keeping the pressure on the other side after losing serve once. Murray stayed competitive only in the opener, struggling behind the second serve and losing serve six times from 14 chances given to a better-ranked player.
