Murray vs Zverev: How to live stream, time, venue, where to watch and all pre-match buzz around W&S Open's 2nd round tie
Andy Murray notched up an impressive performance in the first-round win over Frances Tiafoe in the ongoing Western & Southern Open. However, his big test comes in the form of Alexander Zverev who is poised to provide a stiff challenge to the Scot. With former world #3, David Ferrer, as his coach, Zverev will be keen to notch up a win against Murray who still looks to work out some on of the chinks on Monday. Day three is a rush with plenty of games and this clash is dubbed to be the one to watch for.

Pre-match buzz
Post the match against Tiafoe, Murray thought he did pretty well. According to Daily Mail, he said: "I moved maybe better than I expected to. The first few matches back, when I started playing singles last year, I moved way worse than I did here, so that was positive. But I always need to see as well how I recover from a match like that, because although I felt good during the match, things can sometimes stiffen up and hurt a bit afterwards."
It will be a tough fight against Zverev, the world No. 7 from Germany. He returns to action after five months after the pandemic closed down all sporting action across the globe. He received a first-round bye, so it remains to be seen if there are signs of rust when he faces off against Murray.
Who will win?
Two-time Cincinnati champ, Murray will hope to make it two-in-two against a relatively younger and fitter Zverev. With a game's advantage to his name, our money's on Murray to take this round as well.
