2013 champion Andy Murray faces Taiwanese star Yen-Hsun Lu in the Wimbledon second round. Join The Roar for live scores from midnight (AEST).
The 32-year-old Yen-Hsun is ranked 76th in the world and has enjoyed his best results on grass, the highlight being a quarter-final appearance at Wimbledon back in 2010.
With this in mind, The Chinese Taipei representative should keep Murray honest on centre court as the British star looks to secure passage to the third round.
Murray though does possess a strong winning record over his opponent, winning 3 of the 4 matches they have played against one another. His only defeat came at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
Yen-hsun however is a tough competitor and should be expected to toil hard yet again against Murray, particularly on centre court. Murray certainly possesses the bigger groundstrokes but overconfidence could hurt him here against a dogged opponent.
Of course, a fit and firing Murray will be too strong for Yen-hsun. The British star has established himself as the second best player on the ATP tour and is keen to add to his lone Wimbledon triumph three years ago.
Yen-hsun will have to adopt a very aggressive approach to stand a chance against Murray tonight. With nothing to lose, the former Wimbledon quarter-finalist has to take charge of passive rallies in a bid to unsettle the hometown favourite.
Even then, Murray should still progress relatively comfortably.
