Andy Murray is through to the second round at Wimbledon – but he will be mildly concerned that, for 20 minutes against Mikhail Kukushkin on Centre Court, he utterly lost his way before winning 6-4, 7-6 (3), 6-4 in two hours and 12 minutes.
Partly, that was down to his opponent, ranked 59 in the world but still ambitious and owner of a wicked forehand. The world No3 will probably be most concerned about his erratic serving, winning only 19 of 32 at first attempt, Murray took a while to tame his aggression and his own game was a bit of a mess in the second set, where five breaks of serve broke up the rhythm of the exchanges.
