Murray drives Wimbledon crowd crazy with comeback

Andy Murray is hell-bent on contradicting those who say it is impossible for him to ever play at a level that allows him to compete for the Grand Slams. After announcing his retirement at the 2019 Australian Open, after losing in the first round to Roberto Bautista, and regretting his decision before undergoing surgery to undergo hip surgery, he returned to compete. Petro suffered other injuries derived from all the time he was not playing. He returned last year at Roland Garros and the US Open, without success, and after another break he is at Wimbledon with the intention of showing that he can still be competitive. For now has reached the third round after coming back in an epic match against German Oscar Otte: 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-4 and 6-2 in 3:50. A major challenge comes to him, against the tenth seed, Denis Shapovalov, who also did not have to play this Wednesday due to the resignation of Pablo Andújar (intercostal injury).

The public at the center, usually calm and respectful, went crazy with the performance of the Scotsman, who was without leaving the quarterfinals in the tournament between 2008 and 2017, with two titles, one more final and four semi-finals. It is his championship, of course, where he can work miracles that seem impossible. “Obviously I’m tired, but all things considered, I feel good. I have a day off and I hope to have another atmosphere like this on Friday, “said Murray, who was able to generate 55 winning shots (only seven from direct service) against an aggressive rival and with a good hand at the net, even though he is the 151st in the world at 27 years old.

The Teuton stood up and played quite well, make no mistake. Perhaps too brave with his 87 uploads to the network. In the last, the Briton overcame him with a ball and put the icing on his victory. Shapovalov will already be another story, a true touchstone to know where Sir Andrew Barron Murray is in form.
