THE PREDICTION
Former world number one Andy Murray beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets on Friday to get a first win over a top five player since taking out Novak Djokovic at the ATP Finals in 2016. The 35-year-old is yet to drop a set this week on his return to his favoured grass which promises much ahead of his return to Queen’s next week, where he is the record title-holder with five. Friends off the court, Murray will face former world number 13 Nick Kyrgios on Saturday for what could be a thriller. The 27-year-old was in control against Marton Fucsovics on Friday before the Hungarian had to retire through injury in their second set and he has looked exceptional in parts of this campaign in Stuttgart – so far smashing down 44 aces in just five sets of tennis.
Murray won the first five meetings with Kyrgios stretching from the Canadian Open in 2014 to the round of 16 at Wimbledon in his second title-winning year in 2016. However, Kyrgios took their head-to-head up to 5-1 last time out with a three-set victory at Queen’s in 2018 and two of their last three encounters saw sets go both ways. One of the most powerful, pinpoint serves the game has ever seen in the Aussie versus one of the best returners ever seen should make for an exhilarating contest but after taking out Tsitsipas the Brit has to be favoured here. Back Murray to win outright or perhaps to win at least a set inside an accumulator. You could add at least a tiebreak here but it would be a fair risk with only two of their 18 sets so far requiring a breaker.
