Andy Murray’s crisis is getting deeper and deeper. The world no.1 seems to be unable to produce his best tennis to crash out in the Rome first round to Fabio Fognini. Andy was never in the match to start with a 0-4 deficit in the opening set; in the second set things were bad once more with the Briton trailing on a 1-5 score line. Eventually, Fognini won the match 6-2 6-4 without much struggling.
Murray didn’t play well, but…
Even if Andy is not playing at his best, Fognini was the one to create his chances as acknowledged by the world no.1
“He was taking the ball early, hitting the ball close to the lines and dominating most of the points. Normally during matches, your opponent might give you a few opportunities with some errors, and obviously, you hope to create a few yourself. That certainly wasn’t the case today. The only chance I really got was when he was making errors.”
With this early exit, Murray will lose lots of points as he was the defending champion in Rome. It seems that he will lose his world no.1 pretty soon if he doesn’t find his form in the short.
