    Isner has one freak of a serve ! It's actually better than it was 10 years ago !!


    I can't possibly see how Andy wins this match , Unless Isner tires

    Isner takes the opener 6-4.

    Third seed Casper Ruud is out after losing in four sets to Ugo Humbert.

    Highest seed to fall so far.

    Ryan Peniston's dream is over after losing in straight sets to Steve Johnson.

    Isner is older than Andy. And Andy is 8-0 ahead in matches against him.
    God knows how but he is!

    Isners serve is scary.

    He's been scarily accurate today as well as his usual speed. If this continues I don't see a way through for Andy, but he's surprised me a few times before!

    I think Isner's style is pretty boring to watch but it's effective so far tonight. Murray's never lost to him (albeit they have never met on grass before and their last match was 6 years ago) so it will be interesting to see how he tries to break the serve down.

    He's on right now on the red button if you're interested in watching him.

    He won the first set.

    Isner wins the second set tiebreak.

    All over now I think.

    I can’t see Murray coming back from 2 sets down. Inner is just too strong, especially on the serve, for Andy.

    Is that the film with Burt Lancaster in it? 😉

    A great career but I think this is Murray’s swan song at Wimbledon.

  16. #105
    I cannot stress this enough, I absolutely love Andy Murray.

    He wins the third set tiebreak.

    Come on!

    Well done, Andy. Still a mountain to climb, but you never know.

    Isner doesn't like when the ball comes back at him!

    If, and it's a big if, Murray goes on to win this, there was a point in the 3rd set where he was 0-15 and should have lost the point. He managed to dig out a fantastic site on the run and won the point.

    That for me was the turning point. Long way to go yet though!

    Murray is a far superior tennis player but with Isner’s strength of serve and Andy’s declining years, his chances of winning are minimal.

    Isner breaks in the fourth set.

    Have to say tennis would be very dull if all players were like Isner. He is actually a pretty good tennis player but the majority of the game is just one serve and over.

    Isner is like the Stoke City of tennis.

    Isner wins 6-4 7-6 6-7 6-4

    Murray didn't do an awful lot wrong tonight but Isner's serve was just far too good throughout.

    Andrew Castle dear oh dear what an absolute clown. Loving it that Murray lost. Barely gave him any credit and absolutely very little context re his injury. Bizarre commentary imo

    Yes, Murray gave it everything he had, but that serve was something else. The mind remains willing for Murray, but the body is no longer there for the very top level. The injuries will catch up with him at 37. Perhaps this is the time to call it a day.

    It’ll take Djokovic or Nadal at their best to beat the robotic serve of Isner. That was his first ever win against Murray and, without the adrenaline, I suppose there’s every chance he could go out and lose to a nondescript player in the next round. However, I think he will reach the semi-finals at least.

    Murray's only 35, it's Isner who is 37.

    I don't think he'll retire yet, I think he genuinely enjoys competing, I think there's another couple of years left in him yet.

    Cheers, I thought Murray was 37. He certainly still has the desire to compete, but it's so tough at the elite level, and he's had some terrible injuries to cope with. I hope he does play on, but wouldn't blame him if he decides it's too much now.
