Never watched Norries match but he's through to the next round.

Playing an unseeded Chinese guy next, decent chance to get to the last 16. 

The guy who beat Murray was beaten, not thrashed, by Medvedev. 

Norrie out, the Chinese guy, world 99, dumps another Brit.

Not been a good tournament for the Brits.

Murray reaches the final, on clay, of a Mickey Mouse tournament. 

A good run out for him.

He plays a decent player in the final, Tommy Paul.

That would be a decent victory. 

Surprised elvis hasn't mention this.......🤔

Not only that but I believe he gets back into the top 50 men’s players in the world. Outstanding athlete!

He appears fit, healthy and most importantly happy in what he is doing.

The photo below is when he finished his last match.

What individuals like Andy Murray has achieved should be used throughout our education system as to what can be achieved by hard work, belief, sacrifice and dedication.

Unfortunately the education system has long since abandoned the benefits of being a winner, settling for "there are no losers" and it's taking part that counts.

As you'll be aware, Murray is where he is down to his parents providing all the support and having a burning desire to do well.

We are unlikely to see his level again in a sport that's as tough as any.

Well done Andy ,  good result against the top seed and to come back from a set down.

Aye, Pauls more than decent so a good wee lift after losing early doors in the Madrid tournament last week.

Murray wins the 2nd set 6-4 but should have been 6-0, the amount of breaks was unreal.

Anyhow, back in the match. 

Murray out lost the 3rd set 6-4.

Poor game overall, some would say shite, both players were erratic, Murray especially hasn't a big enough game on clay to beat the big boys.

Roll on Wimbledon.

Watched the whole game , Murray played very well, served well and looked very mobile against an opponent who looked decent at times but certainly isn’t in the same class as Murray . 

Good for him to get back to the surface he loves, hopefully he’ll stay niggle free as he heads towards what might well be his last Wimbers.

Murray through to Quarter finals at Nottingham .  Fingers crossed for progression 👍

His decent form, no more than that taking into account the opposition, continues as he's into the semis today.

Another tournament victory would do him no harm at all. :thumbs2
