After the tournament’s first round wrapped up nearly two days late, the schedule at the All England Club is, to be kind, a bit of a mess. Friday promises more drama — almost a few days’ worth.
“Murray Mount,” the slope of earth formerly known as Henman Hill alongside Court 18 where people bring their blankets and their Pimm’s to watch the biggest matches of the day on a big screen, positively bulged.
With the curfew inching closer and Centre Court erupting with every point, Murray took a wrong step serving at 40-15 and fell to the ground, grabbing his groin and screaming in agony as he rolled over, losing the point. After he righted himself awkwardly and stood to serve, Tsitsipas did him a massive favor and sent a return long. Set, Murray.
It’s even more difficult for tired players to break service, so matches groaned along across the grounds. Tiebreakers were achingly common.
