Murray, Youzny, Llorda win titles in the opening week

Andy Murray claimed the first title of the season with a battling 6-4 4-6 6-2 win over Stan-the-Man Wawrinka in the Qatar Open final. Murray is in sublime form. He played solid tennis throughout the week. I am pretty confident that this year Murray will join Nadal and Djokivic at the top to challenge Federer. He will be one of the main guys to watch out for at the Australian Open.

In Chennai final, Youzny hammered Nadal with a 6-0, 6-1 win. Although the Youzny’s win is not surprising, the scoreline is shocking. Youzny played beautiful tennis making only 4 unforced errors in the entire match. On the other hand, Nadal made several errors on the forehand side. In second set Nadal called for trainer to look at his right hip. Hope he’ll be 100% for the Australian Open.

In Adelaide, Michael Llorda took the title with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over third-seeded Jakko Nemenin.
