CRACKLING FIRST ROUND IN WIMBLEDON

Wimbledon has been so beautiful this year as a new retrackable roof has been covered in the centre court during rain. The centre court looks too good for the spectators to watch on. The crowd were also too good and pretty decent as well. Andy Murray being a local player won his first round against American Robert Kendrick 7-5, 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-4 on Tuesdaay. The match seems to be so exciting as Murray being a local player. If Murray win this wimbledon then he will be the first player in Britain since 1936 to win a wimbledon. Nadal feels that his opponent came so vigourous and Murray stayed calm and took the pressure off from him.

Fifth seed Juan Martin del Potro made a mockery of his supposed lack of grass-court prowess by hammering experienced Frenchman Arnaud Clement 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 in the first round.

Del Potro, who has won only two matches in two previous visits to Wimbledon, put Clement out of his misery when the Frenchman ballooned a forehand long after 1 hour, 37 minutes on Court 1. He will face 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt of Australia, a 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 winner over American Robby Ginepri, in the second round.
