Andy
Murray's campaign towards this months Australian Open suffered a
setback at the hands of Germany's Florian Mayer in the second round
of the ExxonMobil Open . Murray who is still trying to regain his
momentum since having back surgery looked to be fully in control of
the match leading it 63 30. On the other hands the former world top
20 Mayer (18, 2011) had other plans by producing some stunning tennis
which moved Murray around the court like the wind blowing a leaf,
testing his back to the maximum. Mayer gradually came back in the
second set to square the match at one set all. Mayer furthermore
pushed down on the acceleration pedal in the third with some of the
best tennis he has played for a long time. He impressively won 18
consecutive points on serve against a player who is regarded as one
of the best returners on the tour which aided him to win 11 out of
the last 14 games. It is not a surprise that Murray is a bit rusty
still and matches like these are the best indicators to both him and
his rivals how match fit the Wimbledon Champion is. Courtesy of
