After losing a five-set marathon against World No.3 Stefanos Tsitsipas at the US Open 2021, Andy Murray tried his luck at the ATP Challenger in Rennes. Even though he won the first round, the former World No.1 could not battle past Germany’s Yannick Maden and suffered a humiliating defeat. The final scoreline of the match was 3-6, 1-6.

After getting eliminated from the ATP Challenger in Rennes, Andy Murray will now play at the ATP Moselle Open 2021 as a wildcard. The ATP 250 tournament will begin on September 20, 2021, and will extend till September 26, 2021. It will take place on the hard court in Metz, France.

Andy Murray in the 2021 tennis season

Murray played quite a few tournaments in 2021 as compared to last year. He really impressed fans at the Wimbledon Championships 2021 before losing to Denis Shapovalov in the third round. After that, he played at the Cincinnati Masters 2021 but failed to leave a mark there.

Even though Murray lost to Tsitsipas in the very first round of the US Open 2021, he showed some great fighting spirit in New York. The 3-time Grand Slam winner successfully proved that he still has got a lot of tennis left in him.

Murray already announced that he will be playing at the Indian Wells Masters 2021 as a wildcard. In such a situation, the Moselle Open 2021 can prove to be a warm-up tournament for the British player and might even help him to improve his rankings. Will he be able to succeed in Metz this year?
