On November 2, the Paris Tennis Masters held in France ended the first round of competition, and the result was a big upset in the first round, the former world number one, two-time Olympic gold medalist, three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray encountered Waterloo, 1-2 defeat to the notorious German Dominic Coppfell, which is quite surprising, although the current strength of Murray can not be compared with the heyday, but the loss to such an opponent is still unacceptable.
It is understood that Copfeld is 27 years old and is now ranked 58th in the world, although his ranking is higher than Murray, but he is still inferior in all aspects. In order to participate in the Masters, Copfield had to play through the qualification round, and lost in the qualifying final, which was originally not eligible to participate in the main tournament, but then there were some adjustments in the lineup, and he was lucky enough to be in the main tournament as the runner-up of the qualifiers, and met the famous Murray in the first round.
The game lasted 3 hours and 1 minute, Copfil in the first set 6-4 first next city, the second set Copfil once led 5-3, but Murray at this time like a dream, even broke the belt to protect the next 4 sets, in the decider set Copfil saved 7 match points, through the seven to complete the kill, it is worth mentioning that in the process of grabbing seven, the two sides killed 11-9, such a scorching score is rare, of course, with last month Murray 7-6, The 6-7 and 7-6 extreme scores were still a little worse than winning the match.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Copfil has played against the former world number one, in June this year he met former world number one Roger Federer in the third round of the French Open, and Kopffil also won a set in that game, and the performance was decent. In the next round, Copfield's opponent is the only post-00 in history to beat Federer's AriaSim and Italy's Magill, who intriguingly beat Copfield at last month's Vienna Open qualifiers, so the German, who is in his current year, is destined to face even bigger challenges next.
