He played great tennis. MURRAY

Andy acknowledged that Fognini had a great match to comment

“Fabio has got good timing. I think the quicker court helps his serve a little bit. He puts a lot of returns in play. He moves well. He has a good slice, volleys very well. He played great tennis at times tonight. In my mind, there’s no reason why he can’t play well on grass.”

 

Next vs. Paire

Andy will face Benoit Paire in the 4th round. The head to head is 1-0 for Andy that is expected not to struggle much against the Frenchman.
