What time is Andy Murray playing Yen-Hsun Lu at Wimbledon?

“Yeah, I did. In any tournament it’s important, when you have a chance to win a match quickly, to do it”, he cited. Then there was no expectation and winning the first match was a good, positive start.

“We’re both out there just trying to win but it doesn’t make it any easier”. “I’m happy I got done in three sets”.

Meanwhile, there was disappointment for British number two Aljaz Bedene, who went down 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 to France’s Richard Gasquet, a two-time semi-finalist who arrives at Wimbledon on the back of his best French Open performance. Granted, those wins came in challenger play, but it’s clear the 32-year-old is in good form at the moment and should be ready for the challenge.

“They’re so good at what they do that you forget they’re just men in a sense”.

“I think it’ll really help Andy because he has that affiliation with him and connection”, said Rafter, who will be playing Champions Tennis at the Royal Albert Hall later this year, helping celebrate the event’s 20th anniversary.

“I hit the ball pretty clean today”.

He was broken again, to love, in the opening game of the third set and with Murray now displaying his full array of shots, Lu was 4-0 down before he won another game.

Willis’ second-round clash with Roger Federer is the headline act of day three, and the Centre Court roof means that is guaranteed to take place along with matches involving Novak Djokovic and Agnieszka Radwanska. Once I got that, got an early break in the second, I started to settle down, played better tennis. I did the opening ceremony and I was hanging out with a lot of the other athletes, stayed in the village. I was just a lot more sort of focused and in my own little bubble.

They will be followed by British No1 and 16th seed Johanna Konta, who plays the Puerto Rican Monica Puig in the first round.

Under Lendl’s watchful eye, it took Murray only one hour and 42 minutes to extend that unblemished streak to 11. Highlights include all of Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 matches as well as tennis tournaments and some of the FA Cup and Capital One Cup games to name just few.

The Australian was broken while serving for the match at 5-4 in the third set, and squandered two match points in the tiebreaker.

“He’s a great guy”. He told the Evening Standard: “I stopped working with the LTA in November to try to reach out to him”. It’s not nice having to play him. “Liam got a good ovation when he left court and I’m sure he will have enjoyed that”.
