Former World No.1 Andy Murray has a steep path to climb to the summit of the European Open 2021. In the opening round, he survived the lengthiest 3-set clash of the 2021 season against American Frances Tiafoe. It went on until three hours and 45 minutes on the clock before the Scot finished the match: 7-6(2), 6-7(7), 7-6(8). And now, he faces second seed Diego Schwartzman in the second round. A much challenging test, indeed.

Notably, it is their first professional career meeting on the ATP Tour. Therefore, most of their encounter will go into cracking the opponent’s gameplay. However, considering Murray and Schwartzman’s experience, the duo will ensure a high-quality battle in Antwerp, Belgium.
