Meanwhile, in Aix-en-Provence…

Another edition of Andy Murray facing a French player began, this time against a rising Luca van Assche (who notably won 2 Challenger titles on clay and took a set out of Novak Djokovic in Banja Luka). While this could be dubbed as another generational battle, van Assche’s dynamic gameplay could potentially bother Andy when he was on.

However, the first set was a different case here. Andy came up with a lob to double the point lead before he held his service game 2-1, while he also survived whenever van Assche had break points since the start. Several games later, Andy then had a break point at the expense of van Assche’s double fault, which was converted at the expense of the French’s forehand error to break 4-2 in the first set.

After consolidating his lead to 5-2, Andy ended up breaking for the set point to 6-2. Once again, it started with van Assche’s double fault before it was converted at the expense of van Assche’s forehand error. Those rushes were not it under pressure, while Andy tried to keep his pace stable during the rallies. This could be something else in the second set, though… (to be continued).

The third set turned out to be an entirely different entity, which boiled down to the last few points. Andy had his chances earlier in the set, but he was only able to convert those toward the end of the match. Here was how everything unfolded.

After seven consecutive holds, Andy came up with a point that fumbled Lokoli’s game point, which was a forehand winner. However, two points later, Lokoli had to face a break point, which was converted at the expense of his slice error. By then, Andy broke 5-3 and had the opportunity to serve for the match.

That opportunity was almost snatched from him once Lokoli saved Andy’s fifth match point thanks to Lokoli’s forehand down-the-line winner. However, the damage was averted, and Andy closed the match 6-3 with an unreturned serve. As a result, Andy was able to advance to the quarterfinals.

[Late Post] Aix-en-Provence Ch F: Andy Murray [5/WC] def. Tommy Paul [1/WC] 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 Match Stats

📸 ATP/WTA Joint App

Even if Tommy took the first set, Andy turned things around by going after Tommy’s backhand and baseline games, even the smashes, and started working things out from there. It alll paid off with the reverse domination in the second set.

Andy scored 5 aces to complement the 69% of his points won from his first serves even if he landed only 48%. Besides, he overwhelmingly won 21% of his points from his second serves, largely due to the efficacy of zero double faults compared to Tommy’s 2. This might not be the whole case, though, because Tommy somehow saved 56% of his break points. Clutchness could be relative, then.

The return games carried it for Andy at the end of this match. Recognizing Tommy’s second serves were weaker, Andy was able to win 53% of his return game points from there than the otherwise (32% for Tommy). Interestingly, even if Tommy converted 67% of his break points, Andy created more chances thanks to the second until the third set attacking, which overwhelmed Tommy not only from the failed smashes, but also non-working backhands. Combined with the winners (like the volleys), Andy created 9 chances to break.

Other than winning his first title in four years, Andy also won his first Challenger title (third overall) since Binghamton Challenger 2005 (d. Alejandro Falla). It definitely had been a while, and it must have felt so good for him to come back, in form, in clay of all surfaces, by clinching this title. Could be a booster to the remainder of the clay season, considering the situation Andy is in. Take care and keep going!

In Aix-en-Provence…

Andy kept asserting his dominance in the third set under almost similar reason like in the second set. This time, it was the rushes that cost Tommy his third set comeback chance: his shank in response to Andy’s jumping backhand, for example, did not help as the latter broke to 5-2 to double the lead after a forehand that went up in the air resulted in the early break in this set. To add, the break point was set at the expense of Tommy getting run over trying to respond to Andy’s volley.

The opportunity then came for Andy to serve for the third set (and the match altogether). Without any further ado, Andy served it out to Tommy’s backhand, which resulted in the latter’s error, hence Andy’s first Challenger title since Binghamton Challenger 2005. It must have been a while!

The tables turned in Aix-en-Provence…

Andy turned out to bake a breadstick because not only he tried to go after Tommy’s backhand, but also going for the upper balls, which Tommy ended up failing to smash at. For example, to precede the break point to 2-0, Andy constructed a cross-court volley before it was converted with a failed smash, only for another failed smash to double the break to 4-0.

Just two games later, Andy had the opportunity to serve for the breadstick. Despite the hiccups, Andy served it out thanks to a working serve+1 to bake it. The third set could still go either way, but the second set of Cagliari also had a say…

Fifth seed and wild card Andy Murray took on first seed Tommy Paul for the Aix-en-Provence Challenger finals. One of the biggest match of the week, rank-wise, but the flow suggested something else.

Initially, after breaking early to 1-0, Tommy pulled a working drop shot one point before he held his service game to 2-0. Furthermore, he tried to push Andy to his forehand side on the baseline until he misfired his forehand to be broken again at 4-0, before the latter held to 4-1 (which was followed by a random tweener from Tommy).

Two games later, Tommy successfully sealed the first set with an ace (6-2). However, the tables turned in the second set...

Aix-en-Provence Ch SF: Andy Murray [5/WC] def. Harold Mayot [LL] 7-5, 6-1 Match Stats

📸 ATP/WTA Joint App

Andy was consistent throughout the match, even if Mayot tried to bring him across the court. The pacing carried it for him, but Mayot ended up having an erratic set in the second.

Landing 53% of his first serves, Andy successfully scored 3 aces and stood out in his first serves, winning 71% of his points. However, the 4 double faults from Mayot did not help much, especially since he fell 11% behind Andy in points won from the second serves. Add that to Andy's clutchness in saving all 4 break points, mainly at the expense of his own errors.

On the other hand, Andy's first serves were so effective that Mayot could only return 26% of the first serves. On the other hand, Andy's clutchness resulted in Mayot's inability to convert any of his break points, where Andy converted it, although at the expense of Mayot's errors, as a culmination of his controlled power, hitting it accurately from the baseline (or even volleying it out). Even if Andy could only convert 38% of his break points, the 8 opportunities paid off as soon as he could press Mayot's shots from within.

Tommy Paul awaits in the finals, who defeated David Goffin 6-4, 6-2 in the timeslot before. Knowing Tommy and his ability to regain his clay form here, this would be an intriguing match-up to check on Andy's clay form. Who knows, Andy still got it, but Tommy could be tough here.

…because the second set turned out to be a breadstick. Andy served it to Mayot, hence he advanced to the finals. Here was how everything unfolded.

After a swift cross-court forehand return, Andy pressed Mayot’s forehands even further until the latter erred for his break point conversion (1-0) before his consolidation. Andy somehow doubled the break after another edition of Mayot’s erratic service game, which ended with a double fault. Even after the second break, Mayot tried to construct some points to minimize the gap, but to no avail.

One of which came from his jumping backhand winner to make it one point difference, even if Andy ended up holding that game to 5-0. Somehow, Andy’s point construction was at it again when he fired a forehand winner to secure his 2 point-lead. Mayot held that service game to 5-1 after saving several match points, but he could not avoid the bakery as Andy opened his service game with another forehand winner to respond to Mayot’s lob, several points before he sealed the second set with an ace (6-1) to close the match.

The other semifinal in the Aix-en-Provence Challenger had fifth seed (and wild card) Andy Murray taking on the fourth consecutive French player in his half, which was lucky loser Harold Mayot (who defeated Alexander Bublik in straight sets). Knowing Mayot's upsets (one of them was also against Nuno Borges in the first round), this could be an intriguing match, especially checking on Mayot's level on clay.

Andy started the defense-to-offense mode by crushing the balls from the baseline, before volleying his way out to secure the game point, holding his service game to 2-1 afterward. This was also the case before he held to 4-3.

Somehow, Mayot constructed an interesting point involving a cross-court forehand winner to win his game point. However, several games later, Mayot was found being pressed from the baseline, which resulted in his backhand error for Andy's set points, before it was converted with a double fault 2 points later to secure the first set 7-5.

It might not be this close in the second set...

Aix-en-Provence Ch QF: Andy Murray [5/WC] def. Luca van Assche 6-2, 7-6(6) Match Stats

📸 ATP/WTA Joint App

Van Assche tried to raise his level in the second set, but Andy used his experience to come back from facing 2 set points to convert his match point. Andy should also have broken for the match, but van Assche's shot-making could also be something else, which led to a point-construction contest in one way or another.

Even though van Assche successfully landed 60% of his first serves, Andy successfully scored 4 aces. The 6 double faults did not help van Assche, leaving his second serve vulnerable, only winning 45% of his points. Furthermore, Andy won 84% of his points from his first serves, affirming the efficacy of that department there.

On the other hand, the efficacy of Andy's first serves went undisputable since van Assche could only win 16% of his return points from there. Somehow, Andy capitalized on van Assche's vulnerable second serves by rallying, where he created more of his chances from the baseline. Although there were notable volleys from van Assche to save one of Andy's match points (to break for it), it was insufficient as Andy was able to come up with more chances (7), maximizing it by driving van Assche further off. It worked, at the end.

In the semifinals, Andy will face the winner between Alexander Bublik and lucky loser Harold Mayot, which match is still ongoing. For some reason, Mayot could build his pace on clay and could also be more aggressive, which could be the result of his dominance against Bublik. An exciting one, definitely!

Back to Aix-en-Provence...

The flow of the second set here was distinct. After an error led Andy to be broken early, van Assche also got broken after another error, which began with two consecutive breaks. Since then, both players tried to level up all possible aspects, producing some amazing shots in between.

Van Assche started his service game thanks to his working volley in response to Andy's forehand, where he held to 4-4 by the end of that game. A game later, Andy turned out to have two match points out of van Assche's error, the latest was saved with a lob error from Andy before he held 5-5 in that game. Two consecutive holds later, this match went to an intense tie-breaker.

To open up the chance to drive this match into three, van Assche strengthened his moment by constructing his set point thanks to a successful volley, where Andy got run over to respond. However, using his first-serve clutchness and experience, Andy saved van Assche's set point with an ace, equalizing it to 6-6. At the expense of van Assche's forehand errors, Andy created and converted his match point to 7-6(6), enabling him to advance to another clay Challenger semifinal.

Aix-en-Provence Ch R2: Andy Murray [5/WC] def. Laurent Lokoli 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 Match Stats

📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)

Andy had to dig even deeper since he had 5 match points saved, in total. Lokoli used that return depth to save them out of his shot winners, but it was insufficient as Andy found his way back.

Even though both players scored 3 aces, Lokoli made 67% of his first serves. However, Andy was more effective in his follow-up and won 2% more of his points out of his first serves, while Lokoli only won 36% of his points from his second serves. The 3 double faults did not help Lokoli, either, hence the often questionable service game.

However, parts of this match was a point construction battle. Due to Lokoli's questionable second serves, Andy was able to win 64% of his points out of Lokoli's second serves, while he won 2% more of his points from Lokoli's first serves than the opposite. Furthermore, Andy tried to outhit Lokoli outside of Lokoli's often attention-grabbing winners (from forehand winners, working drop shots, and others), forcing the latter to err numerous times. As a result, even if Lokoli converted 100% of his break points, Andy had 10 opportunities to break (7 more than Lokoli).

Andy has to face the third consecutive French, as Luca van Assche awaits. Van Assche defeated Adrian Mannarino in a tight 3-setter derby, and knowing van Assche's dynamic and versatile ability on clay, this could be an interesting match to follow. When van Assche is on, he could be something else, too, to factor, so that adds to the intrigue.

…when it turned out to be more dramatic at the end. Andy tried to keep his level consistent, but once Lokoli saved one of his match points twice (he had around four, in this match), it was an entirely different story.

To start the point construction battle, Lokoli volleyed to respond to Andy’s drop shot until he came up with a cross-court backhand to hold his service game 2-2. Several games later, Andy discovered new angles to fire his shots from, where it ended with Lokoli’s shot error a point before the latter double-faulted for Andy to break 4-2. While consistency could be the key here, the outcome was something else, which was visible by the end of this set.

Two consecutive games later, the tables turned. Lokoli saved two match points in this game where Andy should have served for the set, one of which was a result of a working cross-court forehand winner. Lokoli then broke to 4-5 after he ended his point with a smash, but Andy double-faulted for Lokoli’s break point beforehand. In the subsequent game, while Andy also had 2 match points (one of which came from a working volley), Lokoli smashed his way again to save it, which Andy commended for. Lokoli then held that service game to 5-5.

Lokoli ended up breaking for the next game at the expense of Andy’s failed drop shot, which enabled the French to serve for the set. Despite some hiccups (which included some rushed forehands), Lokoli took the second set 7-5 with an unreturned serve, bringing this match to greater heights. Game on, everyone.

The action in Aix-en-Provence Challenger continued with Andy Murray, who won a vintage first round clash against Gael Monfils in straight sets, took on Laurent Lokoli. Knowing Lokoli’s depth, this could be a tough but exciting match, which was the case in the first set.

After several consecutive holds, Andy had a break point until he broke to 5-3 thanks to his working forehand, which allowed him to serve for the set. However, Lokoli’s working drop shot got Andy run over, which opened the path to break back 5-4 at the expense of Andy’s forehand error.

Being broken while serving for the set was not a problem for Andy, who broke for the first set 6-4 instead. Andy initially did a successful drop shot to create his 3 set points, before it was converted because of Lokoli’s forehand error. This allowed Andy to build even more pace, as well as becoming a point construction contest for both players. The latter then carried on to the second set…

[stateofsport211]

[Late Post] Aix-en-Provence Ch R1: Arthur Fils def. Gregoire Barrere [7] 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(4) Match Stats

📸 ATP/WTA Joint App

This match had everything. However, both players appeared to have trouble in their service games, especially during the third set. While eventually Fils prevailed from this match, whatever happened in the third set could be a hurdle if it still persists.

Fils scored 4 aces to complement the 69% points he won from hie first serves even if Barrere landed 55% of his first serves in. However, despite having an almost similar numbers of double faults, 10 was not it for Barrere. This resulted in his waning second serves winning percentage, where he scored 6% lower than Fils.

Furthermore, both players had equal break point conversion rate at 37%. However, Fils slightly nailed his return game thanks to the point construction displayed, especially toward the end of the second set. He was able to control the flow gradually from the baseline to the net, which sometimes caught Barrere off-guard. More stable pacing from him also resulted in not only winning slightly more points in returning Barrere's serves (most notably 59% from Barrere's second serves), but also took that chance in the third set tie-breaker since Barrere went erratic in the moments that mattered.

Up next for Fils will be Quentin Halys in the second round, who defeated qualifier Robin Haase 7-5, 7-5 earlier that day. Halys could be a really good test, but the rallies would definitely be an aspect of attention. Should be interesting!
