| World number 413 wins a ATP tour match 07:29 - Sep 25 with 3414 views | StokieBlue |
Great stuff to be playing at any sort of level after having such a major operation that nobody has ever come back from.
Murray beat the world number 61 yesterday, next up a guy ranked 31 which will be tough. Still very impressive progress given he's got a metal hip.
Good luck to him, he's been brilliant for the game generally and in Britain.

Properly impressive - plays Cam Norrie next, so has a good chance to make it to the Quarters... although we're yet to see him be able to back up 2 good performances in a row. |  |

Early days but Berrittini is the 8th best player in the world this year and the US Open semifinalist. As you say, stamina likely isn't there yet but thus far he's doing better than expected I think.
Must be annoying to get drawn against the world number 400+ in the first round and it's Andy Murray.

I hate tennis.
I particularly dislike the fist-clenching self-congratulation after every point. |  | | |

Did you give yourself a self-congratulating fist-clench for that rather pointless post?

Won the 1st set, now in a tie break in the 2nd - not sure he has the legs for a 3rd if he loses this though. | |

Battered Norrie 6-1 in the third. Very impressive stuff. He moved clear once his first serve percentage increased in the 3rd.

As was probably to be expected, struggled in the first against World no 5 Thiem, but has improved in the 2nd set.... | |

That's a very good display at this stage of his comeback though and he's getting through a few rounds on the main tour.
It's impressive and hopefully he can push on. If not then what he has already achieved is great.

I'm only listening and occasionally looking but seems a decent game - Murray giving good against another top 60 player as well.

Another top 60 player beaten.
Still a long way to go but still impressive stuff.

Edit: Meltdown from Londero at the end there! [Post edited 7 Oct 2019 13:59]

pushing Fognini all the way as well today - 2.5 hours in and on serve in the final set... | |

He should have won that match.
Had 2 chances to serve it out but pretty awful stuff from Fognini - Murray looked like he wanted to lamp him.
Given he was world number 10 though it's impressive, especially when coupled with beating the world number 12 last week.

yeah, massively frustrating to not close that out.... think he let Fognini distract him, but also Fognini's level in the last game and the tie-break was immense - just unleashed on everything and it pretty much all came off. | |

Incredibly he's now won an ATP tour event beating Warwinka in the final in only his 17th match. He's the lowest ranked player (by a distance) to win one although the ranking is looking rather fake at the moment.
Brilliant achievement.

What is his ranking currently, sounds like he'll be back in the top 20 or so before very long and then push on from there |  |

It was 243 at the start of the tournament I believe but given he's beaten 4 or 5 players in the top 20 now in those 17 matches he is probably pushing top 20 already in realistic terms. Annoying for those players ranked 10-32 who usually get an easier draw of an unseeded player at the start of tournaments - must be demoralising to see you've drawn Murray.
His actual rating will be something like 150 I think after winning the tournament.

I think I read that he'll have a protected ranking for the Australian Open so he might be seeded there?
It's pretty staggering what he's doing at the moment and who knows what he might achieve with another few months of practice and training. |  |
