Wimbledon 2015: Andy Murray overcomes scare to beat Andreas Seppi in four

“Obviously when you do take a break, it does stiffen up”. The speeds of my serve increased. “He’s like a 90-kilo guy kind of lying right on top of you – it’s not that pleasant but it helps”, Murray said.

Murray took a 3-1 lead now, and a hold of serve to make it 4-1 would surely see the match wrapped up, though given its unpredictable nature so far, that was hardly a given.

After a day of rest, all 32 men and women left in the singles draw are in action on “Manic Monday” at Wimbledon 2015.

Seppi then went on to win the next six games, while the Scot began to labour with a shoulder injury of his own and suddenly he was in serious trouble.

He likes to play here, it’s his home town. It’s illegal to deliberately hit the ball twice. But as soon as Murray called Sniteman back onto the court for a time-out of his own, he suddenly resumed his ex- ascendancy.

Tsonga said there was no point in complaining about it. “I just looked at the umpire”.

“Yeah that could be not nice I guess, but that’s what I’ll try to do”, said Karlovic when asked if he plans to dash British hopes at Wimbledon.

He is playing 22nd seed Viktor Troicki of Romania in the third round.

Murray had raced through the opening sets 6-2 6-2 before Seppi called for assistance to work on a leg injury.

It is the largest junior tournament in the United Kingdom, involving some 850 clubs, parks and schools with youngsters bidding to reach the national final at the All England Club.

The British number one was now in real trouble, requiring an intensive bout of treatment to his shoulder at the changeover, but once again the break in play benefited the injured party.

“Serving well on a grass court is always a tricky combination”.

Federer is bidding for a record eighth Wimbledon title.

Well, that wrapped up quickly.

Zagreb-native Karlovic shrugged off viral meningitis two years ago, making a complete recovery to climb the world rankings back to number 25 at the age of 36.

They only played for two games and 15 minutes on Saturday. Neither did No. 17 John Isner, the American whose Friday match was suspended because of darkness. No so this year; the serve is back to its best and Murray’s movement around the court has been reenergised.

Two missed break points at the end of the second set hinted at a Seppi revival and there was a sudden swing in momentum at the start of the third, which coincided with the Italian calling for the medical break.

He is now expected to link up with his new team-mates on a pre-season tour of the United States, with his return to Old Trafford pencilled in for December 28.

Murray has breezed through the first two rounds, beating Mikhail Kukushkin and Robin Haase both in straight sets.

“He serve and volleys too”.

Dreadlocked German Dustin Brown, who knocked out Rafael Nadal, could not repeat his success as he crashed out in the third round.

The world number three and the Italian have met seven times on the court over the course of their careers, with Murray winning six of these encounters.
