At the ATP tournament in Newport on Wednesday, fans witnessed the matches of two Wimbledon champions. Two-time singles champion Andy Murray took on Max Purcell, this year’s doubles winner. There was no surprise. The British favorite won 4:6, 6:2, 6:1, although he had to put in a lot of effort.

– He has a different style than most contemporary tennis players, so I had to get used to it. When she found the rhythm, she began dictating the terms of the game and pushing them off the court, the sixth-seeded Briton commented, citing atptour.com.

Murray, who hit eight aces and seven breaks on Wednesday, will meet Alexander Bublik in the quarter-finals. The third-seeded Kazakh sent in 22 aces, made 16 double-serving faults and beat Jacek Suk 6:3, 3:6, 6:2.

Fourth seed Maxime Cresa didn’t have to defend any break point and won 6:3, 6:4 against player Mitchell Krueger. And in the quarter-finals, the American will face his other compatriot, Steve Johnson, who was supposed to play against Jerry Vesely in the second round, but the Czech, the “seventh” tournament, lost the match.
