There were echoes of vintage Murray as the two-times Wimbledon champion overcame a first-set setback to seal victory in the first round.

But with the gloom ascending on Wimbledon, Duckworth called the referee to ask whether the roof would come on and give him a much-needed breather. The referee agreed and at 8.44pm there was a 10-minute delay, but it didn’t unduly affect either player. A second break immediately followed, along with a familiar fist pump, and Murray quickly secured the third set 6-2. And at 3-2 on serve in the second set, he produced a defensive masterclass after earning breakpoint before his opponent finally strayed into the tramlines. But at 1-1 an exquisite drop shot earned him another which he capitalised on when Duckworth sent a backhand low into the net. However Murray could be comforted by the fact he had won their previous two matches, including after having been a set down at the US Open in 2018.

Earlier this month, he returned for a week to the Top 50 of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time since the week of 28 May 2018.

He looks good too, loose and limber and comfortable in his movements, with some of that old bounce, the choppy little steps, the slice, the shambling dashes to the net. Victory made it a perfect, if slightly tentative, start for the return of Wimbledon’s full house. The standard dipped for a while. There was a different kind of energy in seeing Raducanu win here, a straight‑sets victory against the experienced Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck that might have been a lot more awkward. For anyone with a sense of scale the story to this point isn’t disappointment, or distracting perfume deals (she really could have had a lot more of those). It is instead one golden run where the cards all fell right, a feat that may well remain a one-off for her and for anyone else.

ANDY MURRAY utilised an underarm serve at a crucial part of his Wimbledon opening round match against James Duckworth.

Certainly more and more players have started returning from further, further behind the baseline now to give themselves an advantage to return. As soon as I saw him step further back, I threw the underarm serve in. And Murray can't understand why people find it "disrespectful" when it's a viable tactic if the opportunity presents itself. Fans inside Centre Court appeared to enjoy Murray's unique serve choice but other players have experienced boos from crowds elsewhere and often glares from rivals on the opposite side of the net. Murray managed to regroup and draw level with the third set proving crucial for both players in where the match was going to head. It's not the first time Murray has used the tactic in a match either having pulled off an underarm ace against Carlos Alcaraz at Indian Wells last year.
