Andy Murray backed the ‘big 3’ ahead of the Wimbledon Championships as he said, “I think the winner will come from those three. I guess it’s possible that some of the guys with huge serves could potentially go on a run and there will maybe some upsets early on.”

We have seen in the past, how the big servers have troubled the top players at Wimbledon. There have been major upsets by big servers like Lucas Rosol, Dustin Brown, Gilles Muller, Nick Kyrgios, Sam Querrey, Kevin Anderson, Milos Raonic, and John Isner.

However, the Brit suggested that if the ‘big 3’ are fit and pass the early test of the big servers at the All England Club then one them will certainly win the title. He continued, “If those guys are fit and healthy and get through the first few rounds, I would expect one of them to come through.”

Andy Murray is the only player to win a title at the Wimbledon in the past 16 years besides Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. He will be returning to the tour partnering with Feliciano Lopez in doubles Fever-Tree Championships, before moving ahead to the Eastbourne and Wimbledon.
