LONDON (AP) — Sinimulan ni Andy Murray ang pagdepensa sa Wimbledon title nang pabagsakin si Alexander Bublik ng Kazakhstan, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2, nitong Lunes (Martes sa Manila).
Maagang nasibak si Murray sa tanging grass-court event – Queen’s championship – na kanyang nilahukan bago ang Wimbledon.
“My hip felt good. It’s a little bit sore, but I was moving really good on the court today. You know, that’s the most important thing. If you’re in a little bit of pain, but you can still run as you normally do, that doesn’t affect how you play. It’s when it’s affecting your movement and some of the shots that you play when it becomes a problem.
Today, you know, certainly wasn’t the case at all,” pahayag ni Murray, patungkol sa iniindang sakit sa balakang.

Hindi naman nakasalba sa natamong injury sa kaliwang tuhod si Stan Wawrinka, sapat para mapatalsik ni Daniel Medveded, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.
Tangan ni Wawrinka ang seeded No. 5 at ranked No. 3.
“Apparently grass is not the best surface for my knee,” sambit ni Wawrinka.
“I need to figure it out exactly, what’s the problem now, what I’m going to do, and come back on the tennis court when I (can play) without any pain,” aniya.
