Andy Murray shows in defeat that he can still compete at the highest level | Tumaini Carayol

Murray was left angered by his defeat against Stefanos Tsitsipas at the US Open but he should be cheered by how he played

As Andy Murray reflected on the efforts that helped him to push the third seed Stefanos Tsisipas deep into a fifth set across nearly five hours of gripping, high-quality tennis at the US Open, his immediate reaction was of bitter disappointment.

I know I'm capable of playing that tennis," Murray said after his 2-6, 7-6(7), 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 defeat. I need to spend time on the court, getting the chance to play against these guys. Ultimately when I get on the court with them, I need to prove it. I guess tonight I proved some things to a certain extent."
