Wimbledon Day 7: Monday, June 30 - Order of Play

[DarthFed]

Murray's returning must be incredible today. KA is serving 66% at an average of 123mph for first serve and average of 106mph for 2nd serve and only winning 63% and 50% respectively. I'm not watching but that's insane.

Yeah, seems very impressive alright from what I've watched. That's basically neutralized any chance he had of winning, in fact of winning even a set!

It has been a returning master class from Andy but he hasn't been clinical enough when he's got into rallies with Anderson when he really should be dominating.

4 of 19 on bp's is the only thing Murray has done wrong and is likely the reason the 3rd has reached a TB.

 

[Front242]

Unreturned serves, 35 Murray, 31 Anderson they just posted stats there. Unreal.

And some of those BP's, especially the ones in the 3rd set the return was good, but the shots after that weren't aggressive enough and it gave the opening to KA.

Anderson has played well on break points but Murray has wasted a few as well, for sure. Or perhaps more he "could have done better" with them than flat out wasted them.

Some absolutely unreal passing shots from Murray as well today. Hopefully he can finish it in this tie break. Already given back one mini break. 3-3 at the change of ends.

 

[Front242]

114 mph 2nd serve by Anderson. Thought Murray's shot that won that last point was out.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

That Murray return looked out...

 

[Front242]

That Murray return looked out...

Yup. Was strange it wasn't challenged.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

If only Andy could hit a half-decent second serve, eh? Risk of losing this set, should have closed this match out much sooner than this with all those break points missed and having twice led this breaker by a mini-break.

 

[Front242]

^ No coach so far has managed to improve that 2nd serve. That should be his primary focus 100%

 

[Front242]

Great winning point by MacToothy.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Phew! Now to relax and hope (probably in vain) that Tsonga can make this next match exciting.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Solid win from Andy. I hope the Grigor match happens.

 

[sid]

Well done Andy & into the QF's.

The second serve is still his primary handicap, but his forehand could also be improved. How many FH errors in the third set alone? Several.

True yeah. Two things he needs to work on in fact! But I still think his highly impressive return of serve is what will help him beat the top guys regardless of the slightly erratic FH 'cos they all throw in poor service games out of nowhere. He normally does too but didn't today. Credit to him for that. Anderson was clearly frustrated seeing his serves nearly all coming back.

When are Tsonga and Djokovic playing?

When are Tsonga and Djokovic playing?

Soon! Says 7:15pm here so they're late.
