Andy Murray vs Christopher O’Connell: Preview
Murray’s season has seen a lot of volatility thus far. He reached the final of the 2022 Sydney Tennis Classic the next week after losing his first match of the year at the Melbourne Summer Set. The Brit was anticipated to play well in the 2022 Australian Open after finishing runner-up in Sydney, but he was defeated in the second round by Taro Daniel.
In the second round of the Rotterdam Open, he was ousted by eventual champion Felix Auger-Aliassime. He also lost his second match in the Qatar Open, 0-6 1-6, to Roberto Bautista Agut. He got an entry into this tournament through a wild card, and to make a mark, the three-time grand slam champion will have to elevate his level.
To meet Murray, O’Connell, who is ranked 148th in the world, had to get through two qualifying rounds. This season, the Australian has had a particularly subpar performance. He lost in the first round of both Australian events running up to the Australian Open. In his first major of the year, he beat Diego Schwartzman in straight sets in the second round before falling to Maxime Cressy in the third.
By that, he advanced to the main draw of the Qatar Open after winning the qualifying rounds, however, he was defeated in the first round by Alex Molcan. This will be his first tournament after that.
Andy Murray vs Christopher O’Connell: Head to Head
This will be the duo’s first clash against each other, so their head to head currently stands at 0-0.
Andy Murray vs Christopher O’Connell: Prediction
Murray will have little trouble taking on a qualifier in the first round, despite the fact that he hasn’t been in great form this year. O’Connell, on the other hand, hasn’t provided any particularly impressive performances. The former world number one will have the luxury of experience. Right now, his major focus should be on getting accustomed to the courts in preparation for his next match against Sinner.
Prediction: Murray to win in two sets.
