Andy Murray seems to be getting stronger by the day, as evident in his recent results. He just racked up three wins in the Washington Open, including a win over Kyle Edmund before he withdrew from the competition.
The long match against Marius Copil came too soon for Murray, as he did not feel fit enough to recover in time for the match against Alex de Minaur. Now he faces Lucas Pouille in what will be another strong test to see how far along his recovery journey he has come.
Bet on Andy Murray vs Lucas Pouille with bet365
Pouille is ranked 17th in the ATP Rankings but has not been playing great tennis at the moment. He will have had a real knock to his confidence after losing to 17-year old Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Rogers Cup last week. He lost 6-4, 6-3 in a shock defeat to the young Canadian.
Head to head
Murray has played Pouille four times before and won all four of them, with an overall set record of 8-0. These matches were all before Murray had his hip operation which has seen him fall right down in the rankings. Now ranked at 375, he will be hoping for a good run in the Cincinnati Masters to get into form going into the US Open.
When is Murray vs Pouille?
The match takes place on 13th August at 17:20 in UK time (1:00 pm ET) and Murray will be hoping to follow fellow Brit Kyle Edmund into the next round.
