Against an opponent with a very strong and dangerous delivery style like Sam Querrey, Andy Murray has "set an alarm" for himself in this encounter. This helped the world No. 1 tennis player maintain stability and calmness, as well as completely overwhelm the opponent in the first minutes of the match. Thanks to that, the Scotsman quickly won a break in the second game and maintained that advantage to end set 1 with a score of 6-3.
In the second set, Querrey played more comfortably and gradually stabilized his mentality, however, that was still not enough to make it difficult for the world No. 1 tennis player. The game is still very balanced. The turning point only came in the 10th game when Murray could not preserve his serve and let his opponent win the set with a score of 4-6.
Set 3 witnessed Murray's ups and downs in the performance mentality when he took the lead early but then dropped his chances in the decisive minutes before taking the set into the decisive tie-break. In this brain-weight tournament, the Scot turned out to be a higher player with dangerous and powerful moves that helped him win 7-6 (7).
However, that was all Westerners could do against Sam Querrey because immediately after that, in sets 4 and 5, the 30-year-old tennis player seemed to have " given up" the whole set when he won just one game per set and lost with an unimaginable score of 1-6.
Having lost a serious defeat, Murray officially became the former champion, and at the same time, his world No. 1 position is also being violately shaken as Djokovic is " breathing hot air" right behind his neck.
