Andy Murray Beats Feliciano Lopez At Monte Carlo Masters
This is becoming a bit of a familiar pattern for Andy Murray. He starts off really strong, then blows out. All eyes were on Murray after he plastered Swiss Roger Federer at the Dubai Open, expectations were high, then he flunked against Spaniard Fernando Verdasco, more beatings were to follow from the racket of RussianNikolay Davydenko. Finally German Tommy Haas got his revenge on Andy Murray at the Pacific Life Open.
So for us to hear that Murray is winning means nothing because he has more 'ups' and 'downs' than a manic depressive on a roller coaster ride. What we mean to say is - it means nothing to us until the fiery young Scot lifts a trophy and shakes it in our faces or beats us over the head with it!
Currently he's beaten Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 in the Monte Carlo Masters, cruising easily into round two. The first set started off quite tight but then Murray made sure he grabbed a tie-break. The second set was plain sailing and could be something to do with new coaching tactics as former French Open finalist Alex Corretja and Murray have been playing on clay for some time. Let's hope the new calmer Murray has the same success against his next round opponent Filippo Volandri.
