Andy Murray's career has been seriously affected by injury during the past 3 years. In early January 2018, the world's No. 1 underwent surgery to treat hip injuries encountered in the semi -final of Roland Garros in June 2017. Since then, he has only appeared in some tournaments and mainly sitting outside because of different problems.
On June 16, Murray had the first match on the pitch after 3 years. Accordingly, the Scottish player defeated Benoit Paire with a score of 2-0 (6-3 and 6-2) within the framework of the first round of Queen's Club 2021. However, his joy could not last.
Last night, Murray had a Matteo Berrettini encounter in the second round. Before the opponent was ranked the No. 1 seed of the tournament and was in high form, the Scottish star lost quickly with the score of 0-2, thereby officially saying goodbye to Queen's Club.
In Set 1, Murray started quite well when Berrettini had to save up to 2 break-points in Game 2. However, the number 1 former in the world could not keep the form for too long. Coming to Game 9, he let the opponent win an important break and close set 1 with a 3-6 defeat.
Set 2, Murray continued to let Berrettini dominate. The No. 1 seed quickly won the break in Game 2 and then takes the lead 3-0. Despite great efforts, Murray only won 3 games in this set. At game 9, he lost to the opponent and accepted the racket with a defeat of 3-6.
Losing 0-2, Murray was officially eliminated from Queen's Club right from the second round. Speaking at the press conference after the match, the Scottish player could not hide the disappointment:
“I had an impressive start in the opening match. However, my performance today is not good. This is what I need to improve for the next tournament.
The truth is that I still have a little problem because of groin injury. Hopefully, from now on to Wimbledon, all will return to normal state. ”
