Andy Murray on his current form of tennis

Since Wimbledon, Murray has been playing back-to-back tournaments on the ATP Tour. More importantly, he is getting better and better every subsequent event.

It all started at the US Open 2021, where Murray had come close to defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas. Although he lost in the fifth set, the match gave him the confidence to go all-out again. And so, reaching the quarterfinals in Moselle is only a consequence of his drive to find old Murray back.

“I’ve not played this many tournaments in a while, and my body feels good. I’m gaining confidence and seeing the points develop and how I want to play them again. The results are coming, and my tennis is getting better,” Murray said.

Notably, Murray registered a dominant 6-3, 6-3 win over Vasek Pospisil. Considering his form, he also has a clear shot at winning the title at the Metz. Also, his biggest threat would be Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta, who is also looking good in the tournament.
