ANDY MURRAY faces Denis Shapovalov in the Madrid Open second-round on Tuesday.

Delgado had joined Murray’s team in 2016 and been his big weapon during the most successful season of his career that year, as he won a second Wimbledon title, second Olympic gold medal and ascended to the world No 1 spot for the first time. “I think it’s exciting for me, he’s at a totally different stage in his career to Andy where Andy has won everything and he’s been around the block 50 times and knows everything,” he told Prime Video in February. After the former world No 1 parted ways with Delgado in the off-season, the Canadian approached him and appointed him as his new coach.

Thiem has struggled to recapture his best tennis after a long lay-off due to a wrist injury.

That’s why I was happy.” “Obviously I have had some doubts... He’s still serving well, has a fantastic kick serve, was hitting his backhand very well.

The former No. 1 is feeling good about his game, and confident he's on track to getting back to his best after having hip surgeries in both 2018 and 2019.

I was just really happy all around with how I competed, how I played, how I moved, how my body felt.” He said before the Australian Open in 2019 that he planned to retire at some point that year. Sort of before I went to Indian Wells, I felt like I was starting to become a little bit clearer with what I wanted to do and was therefore maybe more engaged in the practices and believing that I’m doing the right things.” “I feel like in the important moments that helps when you have a clear head and clear thoughts,” he said. Murray hadn’t played on clay since the 2020 French Open. He came to Madrid with a 10-8 record on all courts and hasn’t won more than two matches in his last six tournaments. “I used the serve-and-volley a little bit, used a dropshot, used different heights.

The three-time grand slam winner said the Government's guidance to Russian and Belarusian players could put their families at risk.

World number one Novak Djokovic reiterated his opposition to the ban, saying: “I still stand by my position that I don’t support the decision. So we will have to see the measures that we take. “I have spoken to some of the Russian players. I’ve spoken to some of the Ukrainian players. It’s not their fault what’s happening in this moment with the war.” I’m not sure how comfortable I would feel if something happened to one of the players or their families (as a result).

FORMER WIMBLEDON CHAMPION Andy Murray says he 'is not supportive' of banning Russian and Belarusian tennis players from this year's event.

I've spoken to some of the Ukrainian players. "I have spoken to some of the Russian players. It's not their fault what's happening in this moment with the war". he said

Andy Murray believes Wimbledon are wrong to ban Russian and Belarusian players from this year's grand-slam, calling the decision 'unfair'.

‘I feel really bad for the players who aren’t allowed to play and I get that it will seem unfair to them. He said: ‘I’m not supportive of players getting banned. ‘I have spoken to some of the Russian players.

“But I also know some of the people who work at Wimbledon as well. I feel really bad for the players who aren't allowed to play and I get that it will seem unfair obviously to them. That's the bigger picture. I'm friendly and close with some of them and I feel bad for them. I don't support one side or the other. Murray, speaking ahead of his clash with Dominic Thiem at the Madrid Masters, was clearly emotional as he spoke on the topic which has divided the tennis world.

ANDY MURRAY defeated Dominic Thiem in Madrid in straight sets.

Murray mixed up his play nicely with drop shots and broke again to lead 2-1 in the second set when a Thiem forehand hit the net. Lendl took Murray to three Grand Slam titles and world No 1 earlier in the Scot's career. Andy Murray won his first match on clay for nearly five years as the Ivan Lendl effect had an immediate impact at the Madrid Open on Monday night. I didn't hear from Ivan before the match so I hope he was watching. I did four weeks of training on it before coming here so I maybe felt more comfortable on it than I usually do at the start of the clay season. And after a training camp in Florida, the Scot won his first official match back under Lendl against fellow Grand Slam champion Thiem 6-3 6-4.

The Austrian responded, holding serve at 3-5 in the second set to make sure Murray would have to serve the match out, but the 34-year-old once again produced his best with ball in hand. The question now is if there will be more to follow. He will now face either Ugo Humbert or Denis Shapovalov with Novak Djokovic perhaps waiting in the third round in what would be their first meeting since his hip surgeries.

Andy Murray produced some of his best tennis since returning from injury to beat Dominc Thiem 6-3 6-4 and progress to the last 32 of the Madrid Open.

And then Murray had break point as Thiem twice hit the net on serve, screaming in frustration after each unforced error. Murray consolidated the break in no time as Thiem struggled to contain his frustration, and Thiem responded with a hold of his own. And then a brilliant return of serve and drop shot saw Murray force the first break point of the match, which he took gratefully as Thiem found the net.

The 34-year-old has had success in Madrid before, beating Rafael Nadal in 2015 to lift the trophy before falling short against Novak Djokovic in the 2016 final.

They have met just once before on clay, however - Thiem won in three sets in Barcelona five years ago. Andy Murray vs Dominic Thiem head-to-head record How to watch Andy Murray vs Dominic Thiem

Murray said the government's guidance to Russian and Belarusian players could put their families at risk.

World number one Novak Djokovic reiterated his opposition to the ban, saying: “I still stand by my position that I don’t support the decision. So we will have to see the measures that we take. “I have spoken to some of the Russian players. I’ve spoken to some of the Ukrainian players. It’s not their fault what’s happening in this moment with the war.” I’m not sure how comfortable I would feel if something happened to one of the players or their families (as a result).

Murray won 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the second round of the Madrid Open, where he will face either Denis Shapovalov or Ugo Humbert.

For Thiem, these early stages of his return have highlighted the task ahead as he also tries to return to the top of the sport and Murray was the first to acknowledge it as they embraced at the net. In that context, Murray played a solid match and he did most things as well as he could have hoped. Against Murray, Thiem was comfortable enough with his wrist to unleash enormous forehands from the beginning, but he is striking those forehands with significantly less topspin than the vicious, heavy stroke at his peak. In his rush to return swiftly, he reinjured his wrist and was forced to wear a new cast. Three tournaments into his comeback, Thiem arrived in Madrid still yet to win a match. For a considerable amount of time over the past few months, Andy Murray did not even intend to step foot on a clay court this year.

But Murray showed his touch, too, and came up with the pick of the bunch in a smooth half-volley as he drove home an early-break advantage in the second set. After an opening set that did not include a break point or even a deuce game, Shapovalov won seven straight points to run away with the tie-break.The second stanza was far more eventful, with the Canadian saving at least one break point in four of his five service games. Despite his time away from the surface, he showed very few signs of rust in a dominant display. My body felt really good in the last few weeks and tonight I felt like I moved well and I played a really good match." It was his first victory on the surface since the 2017 Roland Garros quarter-finals, when he beat Kei Nishikori. His performance in a Monday victory over Dominic Thiem showed that his current level remains far closer to that mark than his current position of World No. 78.
