After some trouble, Murray beat Australian James Duckworth 4: 6, 6: 3, 6: 2, 6: 4 and now meets serve icon John Isner.
Murray, winner in 2013 and 2016 on the holy grass, was rather passive at first and had problems on the return, but then set the course for progress with an early break in the second round. "I hit back well after the first set. He likes the grass, came back from hip surgery himself," said the Scot after the win. "It feels great to be back here after the past few years."
Murray had hip surgery in 2019 and competed alongside Serena Williams in the Wimbledon mixed competition that same year, followed by a comeback in singles last year. This was the end for Murray in round 3.
Most recently he was back in the top 50 by reaching the final in Stuttgart. A minor injury from the final doesn't seem to be causing any problems anymore.
Murray, recently also shaved short (although not at Wimbledon pitch) now meets Isner, who for his part had some problems at the start with 6: 7 (8), 7: 6 (3), 4: 6, 6: 3, 7: 5 against French qualifier Enzo Couacaud.
