TENNIS NEWS - When the ATP Race standings were updated this week Andy Murray, the world number one, languished down at 13th.

It is not a statistical anomaly either.

Unlike the actual world ranking that is a rolling 12-month points total, the Race standings are a gauge of form since January when everybody starts on zero.

On current form, 13th is probably generous.

With the French Open starting on Sunday, Murray has accrued 1,210 to the 4,915 of Rafael Nadal and looks a pale imitation of the player who won his last 24 matches of 2016 to knock Novak Djokovic off his pedestal and seize power in men’s tennis.
