He reached the US Open semis didn't he. Great win that.

Big win against World no 13

Andy Murray impressively beat Matteo Berrettini 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (9-7) at the China Open to set up a second round tie against fellow Briton Cameron Norrie.

Andy lost today.

Watched bits. Played well and had chances, but not quite enough. 6-4, 2-6, 4-6 Broken at 4-4 in third set. Fought hard but couldn’t turn it round. He’s getting better but a long way to go.

The Aus Open will be a real indication of where he is, the likelihood of him meeting a big seed early on is pretty high.

One more Slam for Murray would be amazing, tear-jerking stuff. I just can't see him getting close.

Yeah, a real heart v head one for me.

Heart why not? Head no chance.

It would be the ultimate Phoenix from the flames story and that’s his career all over, against all odds.

And it would be unbelievably emotional

Thank you to our Scottish correspondent Buzzo there.

Now back to Buzzo for the latest on Andy Robertson and Supergran!

He lost to him a few weeks back didn't he? Good result anyway. Great to see him away from that ****ing satellite tour ****e.

I always like to ensure everyone on EST knows what’s happening up here

That’s right, he did lose to Sandgren recently apparently.

I am really intrigued to see how Andy goes (if you hadn’t realised). There were points yesterday where he was running everything down and really frustrating.

His misses were all shot a into the net, and a bit of a lack of sharpeness. Does he have enough to climb top 20 and above???

I hope so.

If he can get a march on and time it as Novak, Rafa and Roger all hit injury worries he could surely bag a couple of slams????

I’m a wild optimist sports wise. That’s the dream for me.

Right, best post the Andy Robbo clip I just found

Andy won his first ATP match yesterday beating world no 69 Tennys Sandgren.

I saw a bit of it, he looked very fit. Served well, and moved around the court unbelievably well. There were some signs of rust, in shot making and decisions but lots to be encouraged by.

He was understandably delighted.

Awesome, who had he beaten?

If you look further down the thread there is a bit of context seems he didn't make himself well liked to the crowd through the tournament, angrily snatching away a towel from ball boy, lobbing his racket, flipping the bird to the audience

They seem to have warmed to him by the end though...
