Andy Murray's 2016 tennis season began at the Australian Open. The 2016 season has already been a momentous year for Andy Murray. For the first time in his career, he has made 10 Tour finals which includes 3 in grand slams and 4 in Masters 1000 eventes. He has also won 6 Tour titles, including titles on all three surfaces (1 clay, 2 grass, 3 hard), and finished the season a perfect 12-0 on grass. Two of the highlights of this career season would be his second Wimbledon crown and becoming the very first player to successfully defend his Olympic gold medal in singles. Andy racked up his 12th win over a No. 1-ranked player when he defeated Novak Djokovic in the final of the Masters 1000 Rome event. Finally, for the first time in his career, Andy has amassed over $9,000,000 in a single season. He currently stands at $9,650,319 with the 2016 Masters 1000 Paris event and the World Tour Finals still remaining. The Masters 1000 Paris event awards 1000 points to the winner of the event and there are 1,500 points available at the World Tour Finals for a player who goes a perfect 5-0. As of 17 October 2016, Murray is 965 points behind Novak Djokovic and has a real shot at overtaking the No. 1 ranking for the very first time and the World Tour Finals may play a pivotal role in that race.
Year summary
Australian Open and early hard court season
Prior to the Australian Open, Murray paired with Heather Watson to compete in the Hopman Cup. They were knocked out in the round robin stage after winning 2 out of 3 ties.
Australian Open
Murray came through the opening two rounds of the Australian Open in straight sets against Alexander Zverev and Sam Groth for a combined loss of only 11 games.[1][2] He followed this up with a four set win over João Sousa in the third round and a straight set win over Bernard Tomic in the fourth round to reach the quarterfinals.[3][4]
In the quarterfinals Murray defeated David Ferrer in four sets. The match lasted over three hours, however Ferrer did not manage to hit a single ace.[5]
Murray next played Milos Raonic in the semifinals. In another long affair, lasting over four hours, Murray came through in five sets to reach his fifth Australian Open Final.[6]
In the final Murray played Novak Djokovic. It was their fourth meeting in an Australian Open final, with Djokovic having won the other three. Murray was not able to overcome the Serb and after losing the first five games ended up going down in three sets.[7]
Davis Cup First Round
After taking February off to spend time with his new daughter, Sophia,[8] Murray returned to action against Japan in the first round of the Davis Cup. He won his first singles rubber against Taro Daniel in straight sets before joining his brother Jamie to win the doubles against Yoshihito Nishioka and Yasutaka Uchiyama, also in straight sets.[9] In his second singles rubber he defeated Kei Nishikori in five sets, having been two sets up at one point, thus securing the tie for Great Britain.[10]
BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells
Murray began the first Masters series tournament of the year by beating Marcel Granollers in straight sets,[11] but then lost to Federico Delbonis in the next round in three sets, despite holding a 4-1 lead in the third set.[12]
Miami Masters
Murray exited at the third round for the second tournament in a row, beating Denis Istomin in straight sets[13] but losing to Grigor Dimitrov in the following match.[14] Several commentators suggested that Murray was looking "exhausted", and that his form had appeared to drop since becoming a father for the first time.[15]
European clay court season and French Open
Monte-Carlo Masters
In his first tournament on clay of the year, Murray beat Pierre-Hugues Herbert in his first match in three sets[16] and recovered from a set and double-break down to beat Benoît Paire,[17] reaching his first quarter-final since the Australian Open. There he beat Raonic for the second time in the year, losing just two games in the match,[18] but lost to eventual champion Rafael Nadal in the semi-final.[19]
Murray also competed in the doubles with partner Dominic Inglot, reaching the quarter finals before losing to Herbert and Nicolas Mahut.[18]
Madrid Open
Murray arrived in Madrid as the defending champion, and defeated Radek Štěpánek, Gilles Simon and Tomáš Berdych on the way to a second semi-final of the year against Nadal, this time winning in straight sets.[20] In the final he lost to Novak Djokovic in three sets, a result that saw Murray fall to number three in the world rankings for the first time in 2016.[21]
Italian Open
Prior to the tournament, it was announced that Andy Murray's coach, Amélie Mauresmo, would no longer be working with him.[22][23] In the tournament itself, Murray recorded victories over Mikhail Kukushkin, Jérémy Chardy, David Goffin[24] and Lucas Pouille, all in straight sets, to reach his first final in the Rome Masters.[25] Once again he faced Djokovic, but this time won, again in straight sets, to win his first title of 2016 and 12th Masters title overall, as a result returning to the #2 ranking.[26][27]
French Open
In his first round match, Murray was drawn against Radek Štěpánek and lost the first two sets, winning the third set before the match was suspended due to bad light. He recovered to win the match the following day in five sets.[28] In the second round Murray again had to come from behind to win in five sets, this time against wild card Frenchman Mathias Bourgue.[29] In the third and fourth rounds Murray won in straight sets against Ivo Karlović and John Isner respectively,[30][31] before defeating Richard Gasquet in four sets to reach his fourth French Open semi-final.[32] There he defeated defending champion Stanislas Wawrinka to reach his first final at the French Open and tenth overall, also becoming the tenth man in the Open Era to have reached all four Slam finals at least once.[33][34] In the final he again played Novak Djokovic, their third tournament final in a row, winning the first set before eventually losing in four sets.[35][36]
Grass Court Season
As the grass court season began, Murray announced that he would again be working with former coach Ivan Lendl, after they had split in 2014.[37]
Queen's Club Championships
Murray defeated Nicolas Mahut in the first round, and then played his first tour-level matches against fellow Britons since losing to Tim Henman quickly made in 2006, defeating Aljaž Bedene and then Kyle Edmund in the quarter-finals in three sets.[38][39] Murray reached the final after defeating Marin Čilić in the semi-finals,[40] and won the title after coming from a set and a break down to defeat Milos Raonic for the third time in 2016.[41] With this win Murray became the first person ever to win five titles at Queen's club.[42]
Wimbledon Championships
After straight-sets victories over Liam Broady, Lu Yen-hsun, John Millman and Nick Kyrgios, Murray reached his ninth consecutive quarter-final at Wimbledon.[43][44][45][46] He then defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in five sets, having been two sets up, to reach the semi-final for the seventh time,[47] where he won in straight sets against Tomáš Berdych, reaching his third Slam final of 2016 and eleventh overall, more than any other British male player.[48][49] For the first time in a Slam final, Murray's opponent was neither Djokovic nor Federer but Milos Raonic, who had beaten Federer in the semi finals, while Djokovic had lost earlier to Sam Querrey.[50] Murray won the match in straight sets, winning his third Grand Slam title and second at Wimbledon.[51][52]
Olympics and US Open
Murray chose not to play in the quarter final of the Davis Cup World Group against Serbia, which the Great Britain team nevertheless won,[53] and did not defend his title at the Canadian Open.[54]
Rio Olympic Games
Murray recorded victories over Viktor Troicki, Juan Mónaco, Fabio Fognini, Steve Johnson and Kei Nishikori to reach his sixth consecutive final in all tournaments played. In the final he defeated Juan Martín del Potro in four sets to secure his second Gold Medal in Olympics singles tennis, becoming the first male to win two singles Gold Medals and to successfully defend an Olympic singles title.[55]
Cincinnati Masters
At the Cincinnati Masters Murray continued his good form by beating Juan Monaco, Kevin Anderson, and Bernard Tomic. He next faced Milos Raonic and won in straight sets to make it to the final for a third time, however lost to Marin Cilic. Despite the loss, Murray recorded his best winning streak of his career, extending to 22 straight matches following his semifinal victory over Raonic.[56]
US Open
Murray entered the US Open as second seed, with the chance to reach all four Slam finals in a year. Victories over Lukas Rosol, Marcel Granollers, Paolo Lorenzi (in four sets) and Grigor Dimitrov saw him reach the quarter-finals, where he faced Kei Nishikori. Despite winning the first set easily, and then leading two sets to one, Nishikori eventually prevailed in five sets.[57]
Davis Cup Semi Finals
With Team GB victorious in the World Group quarter finals in the absence of Murray, he returned for the semi final against Argentina. In the first rubber, Murray and del Potro contested a five-set match, with del Potro eventually emerging as the winner. Murray teamed up with his brother Jamie to win the doubles, keeping Team GB in the tie, and then beat Guido Pella in three sets to take the tie to 2–2. Dan Evans would lose the deciding rubber,[58] and Great Britain were unable to defend their Davis Cup title.
Asian Swing and End of Season
China Open
Defending champion Novak Djokovic had withdrawn from the China Open, leaving Murray as the top seed. He went on to win the title for the first time, defeating Andreas Seppi, Andrey Kusnetsov, Kyle Edmund and David Ferrer on his way to the final, where he beat Grigor Dimitrov.[59] Murray won each match in straight sets.
Shanghai Masters
Murray continued his strong form in Shanghai, winning the tournament for the third time in his career and without dropping a set. After defeating Steve Johnson, Lucas Pouille, David Goffin and Gilles Simon, he faced Roberto Bautista Agut, who had reached his first Masters final after beating the defending champion Djokovic in the semi-final.[60] After coming through a tight first set, Murray won the second set for the loss of a single game. These back-to-back tournament victories, combined with Djokovic's own dip in form, meant that Murray was within a thousand points of Djokovic in the ATP race rankings.[61]
