Wimbledon 2010: Andy Murray vs Jan Hajek Preview

The 2010 Wimbledon tennis tournament is now into its second day of play today (Tuesday, June 22nd), and we’ve already seen a rather eventful day of play yesterday. And today, is when Andy Murray takes on the likes of Jan Hajek from the Czech Republic, on Court 1.

As reported by Mike Dickson, Hajek – who has hardly ever played on grass, has a ranking of 90 and who suffered a heart scare 2 years ago – has high ambitions heading into today’s match against Murray, and is hoping to knock the British No. 1 out.

Hajek says that he not only wants to knock Murray out of the competition, but he also wants to put a dampener on The Queen’s visit to Wimbledon on Thursday for what should, theoretically speaking, be Murray’s second-round appearance.

Joking around about it, Hajek said: “I know she would be disappointed if I beat Andy as this is her first visit for more than 30 years, but it would be good to interrupt her plans.” Hajek has also been keen to emphasize that all his problems are now behind him.
