And without a higher ranking, he has to leave his fate up to the luck of the draw. “That was nonsense,” he said, as he looked forward to playing in team competitions for Britain later in the year. He preaches a simple brand of tennis, pushing Murray to unleash his power and finish points when the opportunity presents itself instead of complicating matters with trickery and deception. I’m surprised I’m still able to compete with guys that are right up at the top of the game. In fact, Murray considers himself something of a lab rat in an experiment (though he has no idea when it will end). Just when Murray seems on the cusp of the breakthrough he has sought long after many players with his résumé would have packed it in, some young buck like Berrettini gets on him, often in the early rounds of a tournament. Murray was unseeded, has just one full human hip, and despite a desperate desire to reach the top 30 ahead of the U.S. Not that it matters, but Berrettini said they were all even at 5-5 and played a tiebreaker, which he won, because other players had reserved the court and were waiting. “I feel like it’s not that easy for guys to hit winners past me, and I’m defending in the corners much better than I was 12 months ago here.” Stories like this are possible because of our deep commitment to original reporting, produced by a global staff of over 1,700 journalists who have all dedicated themselves to helping you understand the world.

Andy Murray's US Open hopes over as Matteo Berrettini finds power ... (The Guardian)

Andy Murray was beaten 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (1), 6-3 by No 13 seed Matteo Berrettini in the third round of the US Open.

That was nonsense, and I want to see how close I can get back to the top of the game,” he said. It is only the second time he has reached the third round at a grand slam tournament since he was ranked No1 in 2017. Having contested the first third round of a grand slam for just the second time since he was ranked No 1, Murray departed Ashe with mixed feelings. He saved each break point, including a 0-40 hole at 5-5, and then he breezed through the third set tiebreak as Berrettini’s forehand faltered. He paired his punishing weapons, which pushed Murray far behind the baseline, with a constant stream of delicate forehand drop shots as he gradually established a two set lead. Both players arrived for their US Open third round still searching to rediscover their form, and in the end it was Berrettini who found it, withstanding a late surge from Murray.

Once again, one break was all Berrettini needed to take the set. He ran down a drop shot at 3-3 to make it 40-0 and, after side-stepping a ball boy, pumped his fist hard and long to the crowd, who responded in kind. And just two games later, he once again produced a double-fault on break point, firing the ball long by several metres. At one point in that same game, Murray lost a ball in the sun and thoroughly framed a smash, which ended up being the perfect drop shot. For the second match in a row, Murray’s early slot on Arthur Ashe proved a tricky one, with half the court bathed in bright sunshine and the other half in shade. “I’m really proud of that effort that I put into, you know, to get myself back into these positions.
