In the tournament, Murray had an exhilarating first round encounter against the American, Frances Tiafoe. The match went on for close to four hours and, astonishingly, all three sets of the encounter went to the tie-break. However, he fell short of the challenge he received from second-seed Diego Schwartzman. On a positive note, the Olympic Gold medalist has been playing some impressive tennis.

The power and accuracy in his execution have improved since his return from injury. Even when he lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in a five-set thriller in the opening round of the US Open, there was much to be optimistic about in his game.
