Queen’s Day 2 - Murray Edged But Encouraged; Kyrgios Copes; Stan The Gift-Buyer

Three hundred and forty one day days had passed since Andy Murray last took to a competitive match court, and few people would have expected him to play as well as he did at the Fever-Tree Championships on Tuesday. The five-time champion fought, scrapped and dragged himself to within each of the finish-line, but Kyrgios found a way through in the end.

Afterwards, Catherine Whitaker and Gigi Salmon convened next to a covered Centre Court to assess how Murray looked, and whether Kyrgios should be doing more at this stage of his career.

They also looked at the contrasting fortunes of Kyle Edmund and Dan Evans, spoke to Feliciano Lopez, and played the cocktail sticks game with Stan Wawrinka. ‘What would surprise you about Stan Wawrinka?’ was one of the questions.His answer was surprising.

The Fever-Tree Championships at The Queen’s Club is broadcast on Amazon Prime Video in the UK from 11.30am every day. Their coverage is presented by our very own Catherine Whitaker, alongside Ross Dyer, Daniela Hantuchova and Greg Rusedski.
