Andy Murray vs Nikoloz Basilashvili: Preview
Andy Murray of the United Kingdom will face Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia in the first round at Wimbledon. Murray, a two-time Wimbledon winner, is ready to make his London comeback after a three-year absence. Murray is playing singles at the All England Club for the first time since hip issues flared up in 2017 and he is still dealing with groin pain. Murray last competed in the Queen’s Club Championship. Matteo Berrettini defeated Murray in straight sets in the round of 16.
Murray is still trying to get back to where he was before his hip surgery and many injuries, and this might be his final Wimbledon Championships. If Murray wins, he will face a qualifier in the second round, either Oscar Otte, ranked 154 in the world, or Arthur Rinderknech, ranked 119 in the world.
Basilashvili’s form has been outstanding this year, with two titles to his credit. In 2021, he won the Bavarian International Open and the Qatar Open. He’ll be going into the first round with a lot of confidence. The Gerogian was last seen performing in the Halle Open. In a three-set thriller, he was beaten in the semi-finals by Andrey Rublev.
