2016-11-19t160356z_122573036_mt1aci14676445_rtrmadp_3_tennis-atp.jpg Andy Murray is aiming to protecting a three-month unbeaten run, a streak that helped eclipse Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings. Whatever lies in store it will struggle to surpass the adrenaline-fuelled drama provided by Murray and Raonic. IMPOSSIBLE RIDDLEThe Scot was outplayed at times by the powerful 25-year-old Canadian who, apart from a two-game dip that cost him control of the match in the second set, was relentless. Raonic, showing great variety as well as power, was in full control as he broke to lead 2-1 in the second set when a weary Murray flopped a forehand into the net. Neither player deserved to lose but Murray, as he always seems to do, found a way to set up what he said will be "the perfect finish".
