British tennis star Andy Murray, who negotiated a stiff challenge from Fernando Verdasco in his quarterfinal, is ready for more serve bombs from Polish star Jerzy Janowicz, saying that his return was the best part of the Scot's game.

According to The Guardian, in his five matches at Wimbledon, Janowicz has tormented his opponents with 94 aces, which are 31 more than his nearest rival known for raw serving power, Ivan Dodig.

Former Wimbledon great, Tim Henman, who practiced with Murray recently said that Andy was one of the very best at returning big serves and his technique helped him, with Murray adding that big players don't like playing against guys who were returning their biggest weapon.

According to Henman, Murray had a very neutral grip on the return of serve and is very proactive at the game, dictating play on most occasions.

Wimbledon, this year, has had its share of upsets and if Janowicz gets the better of Murray, it will be a huge one, with the Scot having made the finals last year.
