A few weeks ago, Andy Murray was 0-5 against Top 10 players this year—but then he took out Hubert Hurkacz in the first round of Vienna for his first Top 10 win of the year, and now he’s done it again, beating Jannik Sinner in Stockholm.

His 7-6 (4), 6-3 second-round win over the No. 10-ranked Sinner on Wednesday was particularly impressive given Sinner’s been one of the hottest players on the tour since the US Open—the Italian had been 11-2 on indoor hard courts since the last Grand Slam of the year, picking up two titles in Sofia and Antwerp.

"It's probably my best win this season," Murray said afterwards.

"I want to keep it going now."

MURRAY AGAINST TOP 10 PLAYERS THIS YEAR:
l. to No. 8 Rublev in Rotterdam 2nd Rd, 7-5, 6-2
l. to No. 9 Berrettini in Queen’s Club 2nd Rd, 6-3, 6-3
l. to No. 3 Tsitsipas in US Open 1st Rd, 2-6, 7-6 (7), 3-6, 6-3, 6-4
l. to No. 10 Ruud in San Diego 2nd Rd, 7-5, 6-4
l. to No. 4 Zverev in Indian Wells 3rd Rd, 6-4, 7-6 (4)
d. No. 10 Hurkacz in Vienna 1st Rd, 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3
d. No. 10 Sinner in Stockholm 2nd Rd, 7-6 (4), 6-3

The former No. 1 is working his way back up the rankings after undergoing two hip surgeries over the last few years. He’s currently ranked No. 143.

Murray is now 104-88 in his career against Top 10 players.
