The biggest highlight of the first round of the 2021 Wimbledon Open is home-based darling Andy Murray, the two-time Wimbledon champion who fought for a long-lost victory after a 1448-day absence, beating The 24th seed Basrushvelli 3-1 to get the opening goal. The victory also officially announced the return of the 34-year-old King Murray, vowing to complete the great cause of the Wimbledon Triple Crown.
As the former Big Four, Murray has been plagued by injuries in recent years, and the last time he won at Wimbledon was in 2017, when he stopped at the Wimbledon Quarterfinals, then his hip surgery, after recovery Murray gradually adjusted, this time as a wild card he got the enthusiastic support of his hometown fans, the first game was arranged on Center Court.
After winning the first two sets 6-4 and 6-3, and leading 5-0 in the third set, Murray showed a loosening of mentality, and was pulled back by the opponent 7-5, but the King of British Tennis stabilized his position and copied the second set in the fourth set, fixing the total score at 3-1.
"I've been almost unmotivated over the last few years. I just kept trying, kept trying, and finally came back here after doing all the right things and I was lucky to be able to do it again. Murray said excitedly that it is worth mentioning that this year's Wimbledon is his 51st grand slam tournament, and coming to Roland Garros last year allowed him to surpass Tim Henman with 50 Grand Slam appearances to become the most British tennis player in history.
Now, the return of Murray is undoubtedly more determined to return to the top, he gradually found his touch by joining forces with Federer, and under the premise of winning 3-1 in the first round, Murray's victory is undoubtedly more valuable than Djokovic, because he defeated the 24th seed, and Djokovic defeated only the 19-year-old British youngster. Predictably, this year's Wimbledon is not for Djokovic, because Murray wants to regain lost ground.
