Currently, the focus of the world tennis is Madrid Open. This is the Masters 1000 for both men and women on the ground. The tournament was held in the Madrid capital of Spain.
Today 5/5, Madrid Open entered the Saturday competition day. In particular, the men's singles have entered the third round. In particular, the focus is the competition between Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.
According to the scheduled schedule, Djokovic and Murray will meet at 17:00 this afternoon 5/5. However, fans did not have the opportunity to witness this competition. The reason is because Murray suddenly gave up before the competition for being sick.
On the homepage, Madrid Open has just confirmed the above information: “Unfortunately, Andy Murray cannot come to Manolo Santana to play due to illness.” Earlier, after the second round, Murray also proved quite modest when talking about the competition with Nole: “I don't have Djokovic brakes. He is the number 1 in the world, and I have a metal hip”.
Murray's attendance is also surprising for fans. Initially, the world's No. 1 announced it would give up the entire ground season to focus on Wimbledon. However, he was still in Spain and defeated Dominic Thiem and Denis Shapovalov in the first two rounds.
On the side of Djokovic, he will be in the quarterfinals of this year's Madrid Open. The opponent of the world's No. 1 player is the winner of Hubert Hurkacz vs Dusan Lajovic.
