Andy Murray had his toughest test of Wimbledon 2009 today but the usual feast of fist pumps, angry looking faces, and yells of ‘Come on Andy’ from the stands seen him through as it has with British players so many times in the past … Or at least since Tim Henman left the circuit. It was reminiscent of last years later round games when Murray rode the wave of a noisy centre court crowd and dragged himself to his best effort yet at Wimbledon off the back of his muscle flexing. This year looks like it will be more of the same and to be fair, as much as a nightmare it might be for Murray, you won’t find too many onlookers complaining if we see dramatic 5-set Tennis the rest of the way.

The only difference being that we’ll all be hoping he can go a little bit further, reach the finals and maybe give Federer a game. The next five or six days or so will give us the answers and something tells me we’re going to be in for more of what we seen today rather than straight set victories. The easy games are over and we’re into the best part of Wimbledon — the part were I will start setting the recorder when I cannot be at home.
