Andy Murray vs Nick Kyrgios: Preview

Andy Murray is a champion player, he has achieved what remains a dream for many tennis stars, however, he hasn’t been in great form lately, to say the least. The Scottish player tried scripting a memorable comeback on the grass-court Grand Slam after recovering from injuries.

However, after a couple of tough wins, he was eventually defeated in the third round by Denis Shapovalov and since then, Murray hasn’t really fired at all. Recently, he was knocked out of the Cincinnati Masters in the second round by Hubert Hurkacz. Andy would look to regain his lost form at Winston-Salem Open.

On the other hand, Kyrgios is also coming into the Winston-Salem Open after a disappointing outing at Canadian Open where he was thrashed in the very first round. Needless to say, both the players would be looking to gain winning momentum and we can expect a thrilling encounter between the two.

However, Andy will also give his everything to register a much-needed win.
