Andy Murray sides with Nick Kyrgios in underarm serve row - 'I've ... (Daily Express)

ANDY MURRAY utilised an underarm serve at a crucial part of his Wimbledon opening round match against James Duckworth.

Certainly more and more players have started returning from further, further behind the baseline now to give themselves an advantage to return. As soon as I saw him step further back, I threw the underarm serve in. And Murray can't understand why people find it "disrespectful" when it's a viable tactic if the opportunity presents itself. Fans inside Centre Court appeared to enjoy Murray's unique serve choice but other players have experienced boos from crowds elsewhere and often glares from rivals on the opposite side of the net. Murray managed to regroup and draw level with the third set proving crucial for both players in where the match was going to head. It's not the first time Murray has used the tactic in a match either having pulled off an underarm ace against Carlos Alcaraz at Indian Wells last year.
