[Sir David Gray]

Cilic takes the first set 6-4.

[Finn2015]

Be interesting to see how Djokovic performs at the us open, hopefully recent woes continue

[Finn2015]

Cilic will be serving for the game in a min. Looks like a game to far for Murray

[Jim44]

Cilic serving for the match.

[cabbageandribs1875]

He last won the US Open in 2012, after winning gold in London, so you never know, but I'm not surprised he's tired. He's had a momentous year, both professionally and personally.

[Finn2015]

Best thing he can do is have a good rest for the next two weeks and get his mind right for the US open

Fair enough. The commentator said two weeks

[mjhibby]

I'm amazed he got as far as he did. Winning Wimbledon and more so the Olympic gold must have drained him. I wonder if he ever thought of giving the tournament a miss. It has been a fabulous year but winning the us open will be tough even though he will be favourite with Novak out of sorts at the moment.

Thanks for your usual insightful comment. You must have been watching a different match to me. First set he had early chances but Cilic played v well and won it 6-4. Second set could have easy gone to tie breaker but Cilic won 7-5. Murray was clearly tired after the Olympics, but was he pumped? No. Oh and by the way he had won his last 23 matches. Will be happy if we can do the same!

Did id he lose in straight sets? Yes. He got pumped. Not slagging him off. He lost, big deal. This is a football forum anyway, this thread should be in other sports.

Someone is feeling the Monday Morning effects today!! That was a very miserable post, even for you Hermit

[G B Young]

Andy's moving nicely through the gears at the US Open. Through to the third round without dropping a set. 24 wins in his last 25 matches including Queen's, Wimbledon and Olympic titles. Must be the best spell of his career.

He'll go to number one if he wins in Paris next week and Djokovic doesn't get to the final or if Murray gets to the final and Djokovic goes out before the semis.

It would be a great achievement if/when it happens.

Don't think he's as close as that. Still around 2000 points behind is he not?

His victory today puts him 1915 points behind Djokovic.

However the tennis rankings are worked out so that you are always compared with your performance from exactly 12 months ago.

For the Paris Masters, Djokovic won the tournament last year so he has 1000 points to defend there. If he goes out at the semi final stage, he'll lose 640 points and if Murray wins the tournament he'll gain 400 points (he lost in the final last year).

That would put Djokovic on 12260 points and Murray on 11385 points going into the World Tour Finals in London.

When the points for last year's Finals event get deducted before this year's event, Murray would then be on 11185 and Djokovic would be on 10960.

Fair enough. I was thinking the Tour Finals points would come off when it was played.

Hope he does it in style and wins the next 2. If he does he'll have a great chance to stay there for a while because Djokovic had a very good start to the year.

[Sir David Gray]

Hard fought victory for Murray tonight against Fernando Verdasco, into the third round of the Paris Masters.

Murray wins 6-3 6-7 7-5.

Verdasco had two breaks points at 5-5 in the final set and would have been serving for the match.

The world number one dream lives on.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Murray and Djokovic both win, Murray beat Pouille 6-3 6-0 and Djokovic beat Dimitrov 4-6 6-2 6-3
