Andy Murray is one set away from a place in the third round of Wimbledon after a late-night classic against Stefanos Tsitsipas was halted by the tournament’s 11pm curfew.
On the eve of the 10th anniversary of his first title at the All England Club, Murray rolled back the years with a performance showcasing all his famous grit, skill and grass-court nous to lead 6-7 (3), 7-6 (2), 6-4.
There were boos when it was announced the match would be halted with 20 minutes still to go until the cut-off point but Murray was probably not too disappointed after a hugely concerning moment at set point when the Scot screamed in pain and fell to the ground clutching his left groin.
Mercifully he quickly got to his feet and clinched the set with a serve that drew a Tsitsipas error, and the hope must be he has not done anything that could jeopardise his chances.
The pair will return to Centre Court to complete the second round match, with the the resumption not taking place before 3pm.
Meanwhile, one of Murray’s biggest fans had a day to remember as Mirra Andreeva shocked a former French Open winner. To read how the 16-year-old beat Barbora Krejcikova, read here.
