AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2017: WORLD NUMBER 1 ANDY MURRAY CRASHES OUT IN THE 4TH ROUND OF THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN

Mischa Zverev

A shock defeat by 50th ranked Mischa Zverev sent a warning to top seeds that tennis now is a serious thing...Andy Murray or some call him Sir. Any Murray lost to Zverez 7-5 5-7 6-2 6-4 at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne...

The 5th time runner-up Murray had a hard time adapting to Zverev's net play and stab volleys...Zverev was too slick and ruthless towards the world number 1...Zverev went to the net 118 times and winning 65 of the points...The match took 3 hours and 34 minuted..."I was in a little coma, and just serve-and-volleying my way through it," Zverev said in his on-court interview...

Defending women's champion and world number 1, Angelique Kerber, put up minimal resistance to a 35th ranked American CoCo Vandeweghe...
