No sentiment as Murray beats fellow Brit Broady

In two of those victories, including at Wimbledon 2013, Murray claimed the opening set 6-3, so you can back him at a tasty 3/1 price to do so again.

Not only was he scheduled on Centre Court on Tuesday and thus able to complete his match, his next opponent Yen-Hsun Lu also completed his first-round match on Tuesday and Murray was thus able to enjoy his rest day on Wednesday while many players struggled to complete their first-round matches.

Fourth-seeded Stan Wawrinka was extended to a fourth set before subduing American teenager Taylor Fritz to reach the second round at Wimbledon.

“I have also won the matches fairly quickly”.

STOSUR-LISICKI: Sam Stosur, the 2011 U.S. Open champion, takes a 5-2 career record against Sabine Lisicki into their second-round match.

The 2013 champion at the All England Club won his fifth title at Queen’s before coming to Wimbledon. Williams won the final point on a line call challenge.

Broady soon found out why the world number two is such a formidable opponent, winning just one point in the first three games before getting on the board, no doubt much to his relief.

Kyrgios was a Wimbledon quarterfinalist on debut in 2014, and departed in the fourth round previous year in a loss which included a code violation for swearing and unsportsmanlike conduct against the umpire.

The reality, as Willis and Andy Murray know, is somewhat different.

No 7 Gasquet swept past Britain’s Aljaz Bedene 6-3, 6-4, 6-3, while No 12 Tsonga got past Spain’s Inigo Cervantes 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4. So for guys that are stuck there for a couple of years, playing quarter finals and semi finals, you simply can not fund your career that way.

Leave it to showman Nick Kyrgrios to pull off a shot like this. That was saved with a ridiculous drop shot that died as it hit the turf – as did Lu’s fading chances.

Murray didn’t drop serve once in 14 games, winning 88 percent of his first serve points.

German Dustin Brown, who knocked out Rafael Nadal a year ago, advanced over Serb Dusan Lajovic 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

The match finished moments before the rain arrived to leave Murray, who next plays Lu Yen-hsun of Chinese Taipei, content.

Stepanek is making his 14th Wimbledon appearance.

Lu reached the quarter-finals here six years ago by beating Andy Roddick and says that grass suits his game.

The Duchess of Cornwall will attend Wimbledon today as Andy Murray and Jo Konta give British tennis fans a double reason to cheer when they take to Centre Court back to back.

The 25-year-old qualifier from Slough, whose headline-grabbing run at this year’s Wimbledon came to an entertaining end on Centre Court yesterday against the greatest player of all-time Roger Federer, will pick up a £50,000 purse for his endeavours.
