'Could Have Beaten Him': Murray After 'Disappointing' Loss To Tsitsipas At Wimbledon

| by Zlatko Vodenicharov

Andy Murray's 2023 Wimbledon dream is over in the second round after a defeat to Stefanos Tsitsipas in five sets.

For the second round in a row, Stefanos Tsitsipas won a Wimbledon match in five sets. After enduring a really close match against Dominic Thiem in round one, Tsitispas played another close one against Andy Murray.

It was a match that went on for two days after it didn't finish on Thursday due to the curfew in place which stopped play after three sets. Murray was up 2-1 at that time but didn't play as well when he returned one day later allowing Tsitsipas to turn around the match and win in five sets.

It was a disappointing run from Murray after he showed a lot of promise on the surface this year. Many assumed that he would be able to go on a deep run but ultimately not getting a seeding spot proved quite costly. A rather problematic draw for him saw him paired up against a Top 10 player on the ATP Tour in round two, even though it was a player he could have beaten.

Well, I mean, I certainly could have beaten him today or yesterday. I've obviously earlier in the year had a great win against Berrettini who was a top player at the time. He's obviously had his injuries this year.

Yeah, I certainly can. It's clear based on how the match went. I mean, there's only a few points in it today. Like, it's not just about winning the odd match against 'em really. To have a run at these tournaments, you need multiple, multiple wins in a row. Yeah, I've obviously not done that, yeah...
