Andy Murray questioned whether to play in Madrid after his Monte-Carlo loss, but he went ahead and did so, eventually losing to Andrea Vavassori in round one. The tennis legend didn’t play a particularly good match, but he did play against a player who is having his greatest year ever this year. Vavassori has been a challenger tour winner for much of this year, and he strolled through the qualifications, winning two sets quite convincingly. The loss is unexpected, yet it may be explained simply by the Italian’s superior form.

Murray only had four victories in the first set, compared to 11 for the Italian, and it was more than enough. The second set was much more competitive because Murray performed better.
