Paris Masters: 'I did not deserve to win,' says Andy Murray after wasting seven match points

Firstpost  

Murray, ranked 144, had been given a wild card but while the 34-year-old lacked killer instinct, he did show steely determination to battle back from a set and a break down to take the match to a third set before Koepfer won 6-4, 5-7, 7-6. Paris: Former world number one Andy Murray failed to convert seven match points but said he did not “deserve to win the match as I did not play well enough” after losing a three hour thriller to lucky loser Dominik Koepfer of Germany in the Paris Masters first round on Monday. 4pm: Receives lucky loser spot into Paris draw, finds out he will play Andy Murray 11pm: Beats him after saving *seven* match points All in a day's work for @DominikKoepfer 🎢#RolexParisMasters pic.twitter.com/CqTMmMFbB7 — Tennis TV November 1, 2021 Koepfer — a late replacement when American qualifier Jenson Brooksby withdrew with abdominal pains hours before the match — had served for the match in the second set. “Obviously I had a ton of opportunities at the end to do it, but the way that I was playing tonight was not good enough.” Earlier Cameron Norrie, who occupies a role Murray once did in his pomp as British number one, celebrated his 100th ATP tour match win, outclassing Argentinian Federico Delbonis 6-2, 6-1.
