ATP - SINGLES: Stockholm (Sweden), hard (indoor) - Quarter-finals
Murray - at this time he is ranked 143rd in the world, his maximum ranking was world number one. Murray has played 10 matches on the hardcourt so far this year and won exactly half of them. He has played 5 matches on grass and won 3 of them. He has played the most indoor matches this year with 20. He has 12 wins so far this year in the indoor environment. Murray, for example, was in the final of the Biella Challenger indoors this year, and on the tour he beat Vasek Pospisil, Ugo Humbert, Tiafoe and Hurkacz. He also won his last ATP tournament indoors in Anverppe in 2019. This is the first time he has played in a tournament here in his career. He knocked out Viktor Durasovic in two sets in the first round here and yesterday he knocked out Italian Jannik Sinner in two sets and this is definitely a very good scalp and will help Andy's confidence a lot. Murray traditionally has a strong intermediate game, good serve and is improving his movement with each match.
Paul - at this time he is ranked 52nd in the world, his maximum was 50th in the world. Tommy Paul is an American born 1997 and plays right-handed. He has won four Challengers so far, two on hard court, one indoors and one on clay. Paul has not won an ATP title yet. So far this year Tommy has played 16 matches on clay, 24 matches on hard court and 13 matches indoors. Paul has won 9 out of 13 matches indoors so far this year, beating the likes of Sonega, Bublik or Popyrin. Last week indoors in Paris he lost in the second round to Hurkacz in two sets. Paul has a decent intermediate game, good serve, but his head often gets in the way and he has lost a lot of matches. Here he beat the weak local Borg in the first round, but he is rather a laughing stock on the tour so far. Yesterday, Tommy Paul surprised with a two-set win over compatriot Taylor Fritz.
I have to play Andy Murray here. Andy is definitely the strongest of all surfaces in indoor at this time and the slower indoor here should suit him and so far it has. It's going to be a struggle in parts, but I have confidence in Murray's experience and he should be able to finish the match victorious today.
