Sitsipas vs. Murray LIVE!
Andy Murray is one set away from a comfortable Wimbledon win over Stefanos Tsitsipas as play resumes on Center Court this afternoon. A 11pm curfew last night stopped the two-time winner’s epic attack under the roof, who went 2-1 up after falling behind in a set on Friday despite slipping and screaming in pain in worrying scenes in the third set.
Murray will hope to have overcome his groin problem and recovered his body enough to attempt to finish the job with the roof open again today, on the 10th anniversary of the Scot’s first All England Club title. Those watching will be expecting more of this after he showed a characteristic display of guts, skill and talent on the pitch 6-7(3) 7-6(2) 6-4 against world No. 5 Greece took the lead.
Murray will be joined by compatriots Cameron Norrie and Liam Broady for a busy fifth day of SW19, while the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic also take to the pitch this afternoon.
