After struggling through injuries in the past years, it looks like Andy Murray is inching closer to his former self. In the Round of 64 of Paris Masters, Murray faced the German Dominik Koepfer. The match got interesting as both the players clinched one set each. Despite having seven match points, Murray couldn’t seal the victory and fell short against the German.
