THE PREDICTION
Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray took a little time getting going on Monday but after going a set down to James Duckworth the Brit rallied well to win through in four sets. 35-year-old Murray is a three-time Grand Slam champion overall after winning the 2011 US Open and titles here in 2013 and 2016 but after several years of well-documented struggles with injuries, surgeries and countless other setbacks he recently beat Stefanos Tsitsipas for a first top five victory since beating Novak Djokovic at the 2016 ATP Finals. Murray claimed his 60th win at Wimbledon on Monday and maintained his record of never losing in the opening round here.
World number 24 John Isner is a serious, almost unique challenge on grass with one of the most powerful serves the ATP tour has ever seen. The 37-year-old plays a limited schedule these days and that could explain his slow start against French qualifier Enzo Couacaud on Monday with five sets required to reach the second round. Each of Isner’s last four Grand Slam matches have seen sets go both ways but this is a great match-up for Andy Murray, who leads Isner 8-0 in a convincing head-to-head record. The Brit is one of the best returners tennis has ever seen and he has vast experience in defusing the big-serving American. Four of their eight meetings have fallen in straight sets but with Murray still working is way back to full strength the sensible move is backing him outright. You can ass at least a tiebreak in the match here with seven of their eight matches seeing at least one.
