• Dan Evans finishes 2021 with a loss to Frances Tiafoe

Andy Murray has shown beyond doubt that he can compete with and defeat the best players in the world, but the question of when he can string enough matches together to make a palpable impact on his ranking remains unanswered.

A day after toppling Jannik Sinner, the top seed, for his second victory over a top-10 player in a few weeks, Murray was unable to advance any further at the Stockholm Open as he was defeated 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 by Tommy Paul of the United States in the quarter-finals.
