“But I think we did well from a team point of view and I think me and Andy did a pretty good job of dealing with the situation, which was obviously not that natural”.

“You can see from the last tie how Andy Murray felt playing in it. He broke down in tears at the end of the match against France”.
The 28-year-old went a break down in the second set but recovered and faces Gilles Muller of Luxembourg next. The conditions changed considerably by Wednesday, with swirling winds and big shadows making it hard for either player to pick the ball up. I am hitting my back hand better and it forced Tommy to slice the ball. “Then I was in control”.
The pair will be back out on Court Central on Wednesday afternoon after Kei Nishikori’s last-32 clash with Pablo Andujar and Rafael Nadal’s encounter against Sergiy Stakhovsky. That was the turning point, going up 3-2 in the first set. Every victory is important for me. “Let’s try tomorrow”.
The No. 7 seed from Spain, who won 7-6 (7-4) 6-3, had to battle all the way in the first set against the Ukrainian before clinching it in the tiebreak.
Wawrinka, who did not play after Wimbledon due to a shoulder injury, called for the trainer as he trailed two breaks in the third set.
The Scot arrived in Montreal after his loss in the second of the Citi Open to Teymuraz Gabashvili which is the first time Murray has lost to somebody other than Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer all year. Kyrgios will play John Isner in the next round.

Other seeds to fall were Czech Tomas Berdych (number five), Croatian Marin Cilic (six), Canadian Milos Raonic (eight), Frenchman Gilles Simon (nine) and Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (14).
