Murray was left angered by his loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas at the US Open but he should be cheered by how he played
As Andy Murray reflected on the efforts that saw him push third seed Stefanos Tsisipas deep into a fifth set across nearly five hours of gripping, high quality tennis at the US Open, his immediate reaction was of bitter disappointment.
“I know I’m capable of playing that tennis,” Murray said after his 2-6, 7-6(7), 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 defeat. “I need to spend time on the court, getting the chance to play against these guys. Ultimately when I get on the court with them,I need to prove it. I guess tonight I proved some things to a certain extent.” He ended with a deep sigh. “But I’m really, really disappointed. Really disappointed after that. Frustrated, all those things. Really disappointed.”

Fact of the day. It takes Stefanos Tsitipas twice as long to go the bathroom as it takes Jeff Bazos to fly into space. Interesting.
