Andy Murray did not play a great match in his opener in Madrid, where he lost to qualifier Andrea Vavassori. Andy made a lot of unforced errors during the match, and one came at a very important moment during the second set tiebreak.
On a 6-6 scoreline, Andy was very well placed to win a rather easy volley with his opponent in a desperate position. The former world number one had to just put the ball in the court, but he means that. Both Andy and the local crowd could not believe what happened.
When you turn off your alarm clock thinking it's Saturday whereas it's Friday.
