Wimbledon fans dismayed as big-serving Isner blasts out Sir Andy Murray

Tennis fans at Wimbledon have said they are saddened, disappointed and frustrated by Sir Andy Murray’s loss after a hard-fought match on day three.

The two-time Wimbledon winner crashed out of The Championships on Wednesday evening after losing to the US’ John Isner.

Sir Andy’s defeat comes hours after British women’s fan favourite Emma Raducanu lost to France’s Caroline Garcia, and one day after 23-time grand slam winner Serena Williams was knocked out of the grand slam in her first game.

During the game, Murray was seen covering his face in despair and bowing his head towards the ground after losing a point.

Centre Court spectators echoed his emotions in the moments after the match, attributing his loss to Isner’s strong serve and speculating that it could lead to lower attendance figures in the coming days.

Lucy Morrison, 48, a housewife from East Sheen in nearby SW14, told the PA news agency: “It’s just so devastating, always, he had this in the palm of his hands until he meets someone like that, you can’t beat that serve.

“When you see that guy’s serve, you get to the tie break, you’re never going to beat him on a tie break.

“It’s frustrating.”

Speaking about team GB’s performance overall, Ms Morrison added: “We thought we had the best line-up – we did, but we’ve just seen two Brits go out, which is really sad.

“We’ve got to set our sights on the up-and-coming newbies.”

Ms Morrison noted that there were “still seats available” even in the Centre Court game.

Richard Evans, 32, from Peckham, south-east London watched on the court with his girlfriend, and said after the downfall of some major British names Wimbledon officials are “going to struggle to get people here”.

He told PA: “I think it’s a shame for Murray but
