As so often, Andy Murray knew what he was talking about.
“I do feel there will be a lot of upsets,” Murray said just before the men’s tennis tour ended its five-month hiatus.
On a steamy Monday in Queens, he went out and proved himself right by upsetting the No. 5 seed Alexander Zverev, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 in the second round of the Western & Southern Open.
“It would have been a tough one to lose,” said the unseeded Murray, who surrendered a 4-1 third-set lead before Zverev’s shaky serve and Murray’s grit and talent finally made the difference.
