Andy Murray gets frustrated with consistent mistakes criticizing himself against Daniil Medvedev in the Qatar finals

In a continuation of his remarkable form, Daniil Medvedev clinched his second singles title of the 2023 season by defeating Andy Murray in the final of the Qatar Open. The Russian player had previously claimed the ATP Rotterdam Open title the week before, defeating Jannik Sinner in the final. On Saturday, Medvedev secured his second title with a straight-sets victory over the three-time Grand Slam winner Murray.

The Russian player served six aces on his way to a 6-4, 6-4 win in the tournament. During the Qatar Open final against Daniil Medvedev, Andy Murray was seen expressing frustration while sitting on the bench, following his 4-1 deficit in the first set. Despite his hopes of securing his first title since 2019, the Briton got off to a slow start in the Qatar Open finals.

Daniil Medvedev made a strong start in the Qatar Open final, displaying his peak performance to establish an early lead over Andy Murray. Meanwhile, Murray found it challenging to exert his influence on the match, which understandably caused him frustration. In the opening stages of the game, the former world No. 1 was broken in the first game and subsequently lost the second.

Although Murray managed to win the third game, Medvedev went on to secure two more, extending his lead significantly over the Briton. During a brief break in the first set, Murray could not contain his frustration, and the 35-year-old was seen expressing his anger to himself intensely while voicing his disappointment with his performance thus far.
