More recently, Tim Henman doubted that Murray would be able to play as before and win the Majors. It seems that the Briton heard the words of his compatriot and decided to prove to him that he was wrong. So far, Andy is showing great tennis at this tournament. In the first round, he left no chances for Adrian Manarino (6-3, 6-2), while in the second round he won a strong-willed victory over Carlos Alcaraz (5-7, 6-3, 6-2). It’s worth noting that Murray has never won the Indian Wells Masters before. Even in his best years, he only played in the final once. It happened in 2009. In addition, in 2007 and 2015, he reached the semifinals here.
In the offseason Toronto lost Kyle Lowry. Now it will be a completely different team, because this player played an important role in the tactical schemes of Nick Nurse. But not everything is as hopeless as it seemed. In the last match Precious Achiuva showed himself well. In the confrontation with Houston, he scored 17 points in 18 minutes on the floor. Perhaps he will become the new leader of the team. So far, the Raptors have played four preseason games. They beat Philadelphia and Houston with a score of 123-107 and 107-92, respectively. But in the second confrontation with the Sixers, they were defeated (113-125). The team from Canada also lost to Boston (111-113).
