Wimbledon: Andy Murray too strong for Andreas Seppi

In the first two sets, Murray was simply too strong. Seppi played well, but the 28-year-old Scot hardly made any mistakes, showed tennis at its finest and was already leading 6:2 and 6:2 after just an hour of play. The match seemed to be over at this point. Also because Seppi had to have his right lower leg treated by a physiotherapist in the third set, when the score was 2-1. However, this treatment seems to have worked wonders, as Seppi came back to the pitch and took serve for the first time from Murray, who started with two double faults, making it 3-1. The Scot suddenly seemed to have lost the thread, Seppi took his chance, managed a second break at 4:1 and then took the third set with 6:1 points. The Kalterer native had not won a set against Murray for nine years.

Seventh victory in the eighth direct duel for Murray The fourth period began with another break, but then Murray showed that he is an absolute world-class player. He immediately made the rebreak, then scored 21 of the next 26 points to take the set and the match 6-1. For the 2012 Olympic champion and the winner of the 2013 All England Championships, it is the seventh victory in the eighth direct duel against Seppi, the seventh in a row. Seppi only won the first meeting nine years ago in Nottingham. With Seppi, the last “Azzurro” is eliminated from Wimbledon. Nevertheless, he can be quite satisfied with his performance at the third Grand Slam tournament of the year. In the first round he defeated the Australian Brydan Klein, then the Croatian young star Borna Coric. By moving into the third round, he will move up one place in the world rankings next Monday and climb to 26th place. He will also go home with 75.000 English pounds, or around 105.000 euros in prize money.
