Andy Murray had high hopes of Wimbledon this year because he shoed a high levle however a big-serving Isner crushed the,

Isner played his best match in a long time yesterday as Murray was left speechless more than once on the court. There was very little he could do and when he did have some moments the American responded very well to it. After the match, Murray was visibly disappointed with how it ended.

Then in the fourth set probably lost a game on my serve I shouldn’t have, up 30-Love. Missed one or two shots in that game, especially the one on the deuce point, I had a backhand that should never really have missed.

The most aggravating thing for Murray is that he could have won this match had he played only a little bit better. Playing Isner makes it very hard to win because the margin for error is so slim. Against, other players there would have been more chances.

I could have had a good run here,” he said. “One of the reasons why improving your ranking and trying to get seeded is important, avoid playing top players and dangerous guys like that early in tournaments.
