Murray Returned With Devastating Serve
Murray claims his serve was effective, rendering Kokkinakis powerless
In a pulsating opening set, the 35-year-old Scot was in brilliant form as he took the opening set 6-0 in just 26 minutes. The second set was much closer but Murray kept his powder dry and returned the following serve when Kokkinakis mis-hit it off his frame and sent it long. Murray eventually served out to take the second set 6-4.
Murray is now into the third round of the tournament where he will face either Grigor Dimitrov or Aslan Karatsev. The two-time Wimbledon champion is bidding to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time since 2017.
Murray has been in impressive form this year, reaching the final of the Sydney International and the semi-finals of the Qatar Open. He is now ranked 52nd in the world and is showing signs of returning to his best.
Kokkinakis, on the other hand, will be disappointed with his performance. The 26-year-old Australian has been in good form this year, reaching the semi-finals of the Adelaide International and the quarter-finals of the Sydney International. However, he was unable to match Murray's experience and class on this occasion.
