Andy Murray Stuns Top Seed Jannik Sinner To Reach Stockholm Open Quarter-Finals

Andy Murray knocked out top seed Jannik Sinner to reach the Stockholm Open quarter-finals and said "it's probably my best win this season".

The Briton, 34, was fired up and focused against the 20-year-old Italian world number 10 in a 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 win that was one of his finest since his comeback from two hip surgeries.

Murray will face American Tommy Paul for a place in the semi-finals.

"Now I'm in the quarters, I want to have a deep run here," he said.

Speaking in his courtside interview, a delighted Murray added: "I want to keep it going now."

Murray's only other win over a top-10 player this year was against Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in Vienna in October and the Scot has also only reached one other quarter-final on the ATP Tour in 2021 at the Moselle Open in September.

He is joined in the last eight by compatriot Dan Evans, who beat Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 7-6 (7-5) 6-2.

‘Squid Game’ Director Confirms Show Is Returning For A Second Season

Hwang says the highly anticipated second season is in its planning stage.

A second season of 'Squid Game' is coming! Months after leaving fans in the dark on the future of his hit series 'Squid Game', Director Hwang Dong-hyuk finally has some news.

Without giving too much away, the show creator in a recent interview confirmed plans to create the much anticipated sequel with Netflix.

“There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season," Hwang said. "So I almost feel like you leave us no choice! But I will say there will indeed be a second season."

The filmmaker who was interviewed alongside the show's lead star, Lee Jung-jae, also confirmed that he will be returning as Gi-Hun to "do something for the world.”

This will be the first time Hwang will publicly announce a sequel. The filmmaker once revealed in an exclusive interview with Variety that he had no developed plans for a second season.

"I don't have well-developed plans for Squid Game 2. It is quite tiring just thinking about it. But if I were to do it, I would certainly not do it alone. I'd consider using a writers room and would want multiple experienced directors.

"It took me six months to write and rewrite the first two episodes. Then I consulted verbally with friends, and picked up clues for improvements through my own pitching and from their responses."

The nine-episode thriller series directed by Hwang premiered to instant acclaim on September 17. In weeks, it had shattered a momentous record as the most watched series in Nefflix history with over 100 million worldwide views.
