The American defeated the British for the first time: 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (3) and 6-4
The last game of the central ended with drama for the English due to the ‘KO’ of their favorite
The American John Isner he won the British for the first time in his career Andy Murray in the second round at Wimbledon (6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (3) and 6-4) to exact a revenge of twelve years.
That was the time that had passed between the first clash between Murray and isner in Australia 2010, settled with victory for the British, like the eight that followed. Until this Wednesday, when the American punch, with 36 aces and conceding just two break ballsknocked out the crowd favorite at the All England Club.
The last game of the central ended with drama for the Englishwho saw their favorite player eliminated, overtaken by the cannon of a isner that until this Wednesday he had only won two sets in his career against Murray.
This was the first meeting between the two since the slump he has experienced Murray for hip problems, as of 2017, and isnerafter more than three hours, he kept it, to end the Scotsman’s almost utopian hopes of getting a third Wimbledon to add to those of 2013 and 2016.
Thus, at his 35th birthday last May, Murray goodbye to Wimbledon in the second round and closes the grass court tour with a semi-final at the Surbiton Challenger, a final in Stuttgart and this result in his favorite tournament.
