The world No1 next faces Kei Nishikori, who took 2hr 34min to see off the unpredictable challenge of the Spaniard Fernando Verdasco 0-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-0. “I don’t think he was as far away as people were saying,” McEnroe said of Murray. “It was a terrible tragedy in London, also in Manchester six or seven days ago,” Murray said. I do think sport, and tennis in particular because it is such a global sport, brings lots of people together from many different places. Murray had actually served for the match in the second set before falling to a disappointing defeat.
