Andy Murray: “The old dog is still alive”

So also on late Wednesday evening, when the Briton beat the German Oscar Otte 6: 3, 4: 6, 4: 6, 6: 4, 6: 2. The two-time Wimbledon winner (2016, 2013) celebrated his comeback on the “holy lawn” of London this week after several hip operations and four years. “The old dog is still alive, somehow,” said the 34-year-old with a smile about himself. In lap three he will face number ten Canadian Denis Shapovalov today. In addition, Murray received a starting place at the Olympic Games from the World Tennis Federation. After gold in London in 2012 and gold in Rio in 2016, Murray has the chance of a hat trick in Tokyo.

At Wimbledon, the women’s field thinned out: after Jelena Switolinas (Ukr) 3: 6, 4: 6 against Magda Linette (Pol), six of the ten top seeded players are no longer in the competition. In theory, the way seems clear for Ashleigh Barty. The world number one moved into the third round with a 6: 4 and 6: 3 over the Russian Anna Blinkowa.

Another lap is Oliver Marach. On the side of the Pakistani Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi, the Styrian beat the Belgian pairing Sander Gille / Joran Viegen 6: 4, 6: 4 in the first double round. Jürgen Melzer and Andre Begemann (D) are waiting against Sander Arends / Matwe Middelkoop (Ned) after 6: 7 (2), 6: 4, 2: 6 final stop.
