At the 2022 Laver Cup on Friday, September 23, the world number 43 Andy Murray will compete against the 22nd-ranked Alex de Minaur in the third match of the first day.
Murray, who was a member of the Big Four of tennis, now has the opportunity to compete alongside Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. And he would be eager to make it count, especially if it meant supporting his team’s victory. However, things might not be simple for the Brit. That’s because he has a poor record ever since switching to the US Open Series. Murray made it to the third round of the US Open, which was certainly expected considering his ranking, but with just three victories in seven matches during the US Open Series, he can hardly be overjoyed with that performance. In what would be his Laver Cup debut, Murray may find the going difficult against a competitor who has already defeated him once.
De Minaur held his own despite the strange upset, but Andy Murray struggled on the American hard court swing. As an example, he did withdraw from the Washington Open in the first round, but it was likely due to weariness from playing every day the week before when he won the title in Atlanta. De Minaur later advanced to the third round at the US Open and the Montreal Masters, and he won both of his Davis Cup matches against Benjamin Bonzi and David Goffin to enter this competition on the strength of some favourable performances.
Andy Murray and Alex de Minaur are scheduled to face each other in the third match of the of the 2022 ATP Laver Cup on Friday, September 23. The tournament is scheduled to begin on September 23 and end on September 25.
The 2022 ATP Laver Cup is scheduled to commence on September 23 and go on until September 25 this year.
