Andy Murray vs Ryan Peniston: Preview
Two-time champion Andy Murray will bid for a third title at the grass-court Major this year. Back from an injury many considered to be career-ending, Murray has made his comeback and is trying to get back to his winning ways. With an 8-9 record this year, Murray’s season so far has been lukewarm at best. His best performance includes making the finals of the ATP 250 at Doha, falling to Daniil Medvedev in straight sets.
However, the Briton has seen better form on grass courts, winning consecutive challenger titles at Surbiton and Nottingham. However, he had an early exit at Queen’s to eventual runner–up Alex de Minaur. This meant that Murray would have to go unseeded at this year’s Wimbledon.
Ryan Peniston’s record on the ATP tour has been 1-1 so far, with the lone victory coming in the opening round of Queen’s. The no. 267 has been more involved on the Challenger tour this year, albeit without a title to show.
This is a first-time matchup, so their head-to-head record stands at 0-0.
Andy Murray vs Ryan Peniston: Prediction
With great experience under his belt and a more versatile skill set, the game is essentially Andy Murray’s to win. Given his injury, however, movement on the court is his biggest liability. Peniston could capitalize on that, making his opponent chase every ball instead of sticking to strictly baseline rallies, something Murray would prefer.
Ultimately, the outcome of this match will likely hinge on the players’ form on the day and their ability to execute their game plans. While Murray’s experience on the grass courts of Wimbledon and his overall record of 60-12 cannot be overlooked, Peniston is still very much capable of an upset.
Prediction: Andy Murray to win in 5 sets.
