GOOD TO GO: Andy Murray
Two-time Wimbledon champion and home-crowd favourite Andy Murray says it’s been a while since he felt “this good” coming into Wimbledon.
The 36-year-old Briton, who won the grass-court championship in 2013 and 2016, cruised through his first-round match against compatriot Ryan Peniston 6-3, 6-0 and 6-1.
But he faces a far more difficult task in the second round on Thursday when he either squares off with Dominic Thiem or fifth-seed Stefanos Tsitsipas who were scheduled to finish their rain-interrupted first-round clash yesterday.
Murray says of his form: “It’s been a long time since I’ve felt physically this good coming into Wimbledon... so I’m hoping I’m fit and ready for a good run.”
With rain again interrupting play on Wednesday, today’s schedule is fluid with No.1 seed Carlos Alcaraz also scheduled to face Alexandre Muller or Arthur Rinderknech in his second-round clash.
