Andy Murray begins his Wimbledon title quest against Daniel Gimeno-Traver, whom he defeated in Valencia two years ago in their lone meeting. “I know him quite well because we grew up playing a lot of the same junior tournaments,” said Murray. “When I went over to Spain I saw him quite a lot. He's a solid, good all around player. He serves pretty good; solid forehand. Similar to a lot of the Spanish guys, so I'll have to work hard.” Murray has been runner-up in three Grand Slam finals: the 2008 US Open, the 2010 Australian Open and the 2011 Australian Open, and as of 2011 he has reached the semi-finals of all four Grand Slam tournaments. At the 2011 French Open Murray reached the semi-final stage, for the first time at Roland Garros, against Rafael Nadal, which he lost in straight sets, 4–6, 5–7, 4–6. On 11 June, Murray played Andy Roddick in the semi-final of the 2011 AEGON Championships, which Murray won in straight sets 6–3 6–1. Murray went on to beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 3–6 7–6 (7–2) 6–4 in the final
Daniel Gimeno-Traver has won 6 Challenger events (2004, 2008 (2), 2009 (2) and 2010). He is more of a clay court player and has never won on grass. His best result at Wimbledon was a second round exit in 2009.
