Andy Murray reaches second final in Stuttgart, beats Nick Kyrgios to face Matteo Berrettini

Murray will face Berrettini for the battle of title tomorrow.

Former World No. 1 Andy Murray has reached the second final of the year at the ATP Stuttgart Open beating Nick Kyrgios. The Briton came past the Australian with a score of 7-6(5), 6-2. He also had beaten Stefanos Tsitsipas previously in the quarterfinals, a huge upset as the Greek had been so good this season but Murray is a grass expert.

Murray’s victory over top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas with a score of 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 on Friday to advance to the Stuttgart semi-finals, was his first top-five wins since 2016 as the player suffers health issues and hip problems that don’t allow him to stand on his own for long resulting in early exits at several tournaments. Murray was playing in his first tour-level semi-final since 2016 when he defeated Tomas Berdych in straight sets before overcoming Milos Raonic to win his last Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon.
