Andy Murray

Andy Murray was knocked out of Wimbledon after losing 6-4, 7-6, 6-7, 6-4 against John Isner of the USA.

“But it’s extremely difficult with the problems I’ve had with my body in the last few years to make long-term predictions.” And with the crowd urging him on, he was able to capitalise. In a game of millimetres and microseconds, it made all the difference. But a little slower in the eyes, and between the lines. “But tonight he was very close to the lines in important moments.” Afterwards Murray pledged to be back at Wimbledon if his creaking 35-year-old body holds up, but he conceded that was not a given.

Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray joined Emma Raducanu through the exit door after a four-set defeat by John Isner.

He's a massive inspiration to each one of us in the locker room and we are so lucky to still have him around." "It was an incredible honour to play him on this court in front of this crowd. This was one of the biggest wins of my career," he added. 10 minutes after the resumption, so was the latest chapter in Murray's Wimbledon odyssey. "Like I said, I certainly didn't serve well enough at the beginning of the match, which I think is understandable. "If physically I'm in a good place, yeah, I will continue to play.

"If physically I'm in a good place, yeah, I will continue to play. It was touch and go kind of on the Wednesday, Thursday before the tournament in terms of how I was going to be. "It depends on how I am physically," he said. That's kind of what my goals are between now and the US Open." But I felt good physically on the court. The momentum was with Murray but Isner broke for 3-2.

“Murray is one of the all-time great returners, the question is how he is going to recover in best of five sets matches. “He's so comfortable on the grass, more comfortable than I am. “For me, his movement is not what it was at his peak but it’s better than it has been in five or seven years.

His previous earliest exits came in the third round in 2005 and 2021. The British star has a stellar record at Wimbledon, winning the trophy in 2013 and 2016. The British two-time champion, 35, struggled to tame the giant American's serve, failing to break once in the match on Centre Court.

Unable to overcome big John Isner's big serves, Andy Murray lost in the second round to the 20th-seeded American in four sets on Wednesday night.

I literally won a Slam,” Raducanu said. I guess I didn’t give him many opportunities to spin his web and get me tangled up in it. This was one of the biggest wins of my career.” But he could not quite do that enough: Isner hit 36 aces — moving him four away from Ivo Karlovic’s total of 13,728, a record since the ATP began tracking that stat in 1991 — and delivered another 60 unreturned serves across the match’s nearly 3½ hours. Murray, who entered the day 8-0 against Isner, only managed to obtain two break points. It was an incredible honor to play him on this court, in front of this crowd,” said the 37-year-old Isner, who won the longest match in tennis history by a 70-68 score in the fifth set at Wimbledon in 2010 and reached the semifinals there in 2018. Like, it’s a joke. But I’m a Slam champion, so no one’s going to take that away from me. I had an incredible serving day and I needed every single bit of it to beat him.” He lost that early twice, in his 2005 debut and in 2021. If physically I feel good, we’ll try to keep playing. “It’s no secret that I am most definitely not a better tennis player than Andy Murray. I might have been just a little bit better than him today.

Andy Murray has a deep love of football, but which team does he support? GOAL brings you the details.

"Football is something that has always interested me and, it would be a fun thing to try. In his teens, he would play football and tennis, and only when he was 14 or 15 he chose to concentrate on tennis. I think he would do a good job for Arsenal," the tennis star told talkSPORT. But as he grew up he also started rooting for Premier League side Arsenal. During an interaction with former Gunner Robert Pires, he confessed: "I used to support Hibs when I was a kid. "I would have been young at the time but I will always remember that because Hibs playing in Europe is really rare. "It does help, you get used to losing a lot at a young age!

Despite a valiant fightback, the American's impenetrable serving proved a force too great to withstand as Murray succumbed to a 6-4 7-6 6-7 6-4 defeat on ...

It was Isner who earned the decisive break, capitalising on a dreadful lapse in concentration as Murray yanked a simple would-be winner backhand into the net. He broke at the first opportunity, sparking Murray into a familiar self-flagellating rhythm behind the baseline, punching his thigh and glaring at his box as though ready to disown them. Murray vented his ire towards his box, but this was a riddle that players have struggled to solve for over a decade when Isner is in full flow. He gave up just two break points throughout the entire match and summoned a remarkable 36 aces, puncturing the atmosphere whenever pressure swelled, but it would be unfair to reduce his efforts to just one dimension. Isner’s impenetrable serve will always be best remembered for his 11-hour marathon match here against Nicolas Mahut, but it was hard to recall a time when it has been quite so relentlessly precise as this. This was a different and perhaps a more depressing kind of defeat than what Murray endured last year.

But he stopped short of guaranteeing a return to Wimbledon next year. He has been particularly focussed on improving his Pepperstone ATP Ranking since he lost to World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev as an unseeded player at the Miami Open presented by Itau in March. But Isner's booming serve kept Murray's brilliance at bay, keeping points short and not allowing the Briton to sink his teeth into the match.

Andy Murray remains determined to improving his ranking enough to be seeded at Grand Slams again after a “frustrating” Wimbledon defeat to John Isner.

“Physically I was not in a good place coming into the tournament last year. I felt like physically I was in a good place. “Then in the fourth set probably lost a game on my serve I shouldn't have, up 30-0. “When I had my opportunities, he served extremely well and didn't give me lots of chances. “If physically I'm in a good place, yeah, I will continue to play. Physically [if] I feel good, then we'll try to keep playing.

This was one of the biggest wins of my career.” And Murray still can return about as well as anyone, often getting serves topping 130 mph back over the net. I literally won a Slam,” Raducanu said. It was an incredible honor to play him on this court, in front of this crowd,” said Isner, the 37-year-old who won the longest match in tennis history by a 70-68 score in the fifth set at Wimbledon in 2010 and reached the semifinals here in 2018. He lost that early twice, in his 2005 debut and in 2021. Like, it’s a joke. But I’m a Slam champion, so no one’s going to take that away from me. Murray, who entered the day 8-0 against Isner, still can hit crisp, clean groundstrokes, and he accumulated merely 13 unforced errors to 39 winners against Isner, who’s 6-foot-10. Asked whether he plans to be back a year from now, Murray, 35, replied: “It depends on how I am physically.

John Feinstein: “Statistics are overused, but a handful of Nadal’s numbers go beyond breathtaking. World No. 1 Iga Swiatek raced to a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Coco Gauff in 68 minutes to claim her second Grand Slam. A well-executed drop shot not only can take a player by surprise, it also can exploit a shaky vulnerability. Now they seem to play with hope above fear all around the grounds, and rather than feeling the brunt of whatever national pressure is left over after soccer hogs most of it, they share that brunt. I need that to be working.” Maybe it would be a later round before an on-court interviewer would ask Isner how he managed to keep his head when the fans around him were losing theirs, to which Isner replied, as follows: Being seeded would help avoid a seeded mainstay in his 54th major tournament as is Isner, even as Isner stood 0-8 against Murray coming in. And when Raducanu lost just before Murray, well, she did win that U.S. Open as an afterthought even amid her own nationality. I literally won a Slam.”

Ten minutes later so was the latest chapter in Murray’s Wimbledon odyssey. Murray’s serve needed to be firing as well, but too often in the early stages he gave Isner a look at his second attempt, and it was a searing return which was too hot for the home favourite as he was broken in the third game.
