Andy Murray’s hopes of positioning himself for a deep run at Wimbledon continued to grow as he eased past Arthur Cazaux 6-4, 6-4 in Nottingham to secure his second consecutive ATP Challenger title on grass, extending his winning run to 10 matches over the past two weeks.
After opting not to compete at the French Open, Murray started his grass court season in Surbiton during the second week at Roland Garros, winning the title and dropping just one set en route. With each match Murray’s confidence has continued to grow. He finished this tournament in Nottingham playing smooth, quality tennis against Cazaux, striking the ball sweetly as he neutralised the Frenchman’s weapons.
