Andy Murray battles back to beat James Duckworth and thrill Centre ... (The Guardian)

There were echoes of vintage Murray as the two-times Wimbledon champion overcame a first-set setback to seal victory in the first round.

But with the gloom ascending on Wimbledon, Duckworth called the referee to ask whether the roof would come on and give him a much-needed breather. The referee agreed and at 8.44pm there was a 10-minute delay, but it didn’t unduly affect either player. A second break immediately followed, along with a familiar fist pump, and Murray quickly secured the third set 6-2. And at 3-2 on serve in the second set, he produced a defensive masterclass after earning breakpoint before his opponent finally strayed into the tramlines. But at 1-1 an exquisite drop shot earned him another which he capitalised on when Duckworth sent a backhand low into the net. However Murray could be comforted by the fact he had won their previous two matches, including after having been a set down at the US Open in 2018.

The match came to an anticlimactic ending on an incorrect Duckworth challenge, but Murray showed how much it meant with several fist pumps and a big roar. But the World No. 74 dumped a double fault into the net to hand Murray the decisive advantage. "I thought I did well to rebound after the first set. Earlier this month, he returned for a week to the Top 50 of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time since the week of 28 May 2018. Obviously I'm getting on a bit now, so I don't know how many more opportunities I [will] get to play on this court, so I want to make the most of every time I get to come out here now. There are few players who understand what Andy Murray has been through to return to the tennis court and compete at the highest level, but James Duckworth, who in January underwent hip surgery, is one of them.

Murray in control when they get into a rally though, as Duckworth dumps a forehand into the net. Duckworth with a little skip as he tries to send a delicate volley over the net, not enough on it. Pressure being put on the Murray serve. Not the second though, slice into the net and Murray has broken back! Couple of Murray shots float wide and it’s an opening hold for Duckworth. Duckworth with a challenge, as the ball lands right on the baseline. He was almost groaning in frustration before the ball left his racket. 15-30. Break here and the Brit will be serving for the set... Well-worked point from Duckworth, forces the error from the Brit. Can only loop it up and Murray’s backhand does the rest. It is extremely unlikely Murray will be in peak condition after so long blighted injuries but, should his body allow, the 35-year-old would appear to have a favourable looking draw ahead. Set point Duckworth. And he takes it!
