Wimbledon 2023 LIVE: Andy Murray vs Stefanos Tsitsipas suspended after rousing comeback
Andy Murray will have to resume his Wimbledon match against Stefanos Tsitsipas on Friday after the 36-year-old produced a stunning comeback under the lights on Centre Court before the contest was suspended due to the 11pm curfew.
The two-time Wimbledon champion was staring at an early elimination as an inspired Tsitsipas took the opening set on a tiebreak, but Murray roared back to win the crucial second-set decider.
With the momentum behind him, Murray broke the fifth seed early in the third and stood with three set points after finding a solid level behind his serve.
Despite slipping on set point and appearing to injure his groin, Murray was able to take the lead in the match as Tsitsipas fired long in what was a frenzied atmosphere under the lights.
The curfew was called at the end of the third set and Murray will resume on Friday afternoon with the 36-year-old just needing to win one more set to reach the third round. Follow live updates, scores and results from SW19 below.

Andy Murray thrills in latest epic, but this time there’s a twist
Thursday 6 July 2023 23:20 , Jamie Braidwood
When looking down upon Centre Court, it is easy to construe the surface as some unearthly plain, to see the players who glide across it as some otherworldly beings. But truthfully, these are just people, and this is (glance over your shoulder, whisper it to a trusted friend) just grass.
In that same vein, Sir Andy Murray is merely a man. His faults prove that, even if his feats belie it. His clanging metal hip is a manmade accessory, not an astral invention. His brain ponders the ideal timing of a forehand and what awaits for dinner, not the bewildering basis of human existence and its place in the cosmos. Murray, like us, is human, no matter how many miracles he conjures on court. That is the reality.
Yet on the fourth night of Wimbledon, reality flickered in front of the Centre Court crowd and fizzled into something else altogether. This addictive, augmented reality read: ‘Andy Murray 6-7, 7-6, 6-4 Stefanos Tsitsipas.’

Wimbledon is underway and tickets are more in demand than ever, but while it will be difficult to attend this year’s grand slam, fans can already register for 2024.
There is also an opportunity for last-minute tickets to this year’s Championships.
Wimbledon continues to be one of the only major sporting events where fans can get tickets on the day of play.
With enough dedication, you can brave the queue, which is still a key part of the Wimbledon experience.

Wimbledon is back and the big question ahead of the Championships, can anybody stop Novak Djokovic? The Serbian is looking to join Roger Federer on a record eight men’s singles titles.
Djokovic has been in unstoppable form in the grand slams this season and has now won a record 23 major titles after victories at the Australian Open and French Open this season.
The Serbian has won four Wimbledon titles in a row and defeated Nick Kyrgios in last year’s final to continue his dominance on the grass courts of SW19.
Elena Rybakina has looked impressive as the defending champion in the women’s singles after winning her first grand slam title in last year’s final against Ons Jabeur.
Here’s how to watch Wimbledon on TV:
British wildcard Jan Choinski determined to return to Wimbledon
10:01 , Luke Baker
Jan Choinski has targeted a Wimbledon return next year but wants to get there in his own right.
German-born Choinski, the son of an English ballet dancer, was handed a debut wild card and rewarded tournament organisers with an impressive first-round win against world number 56 Dusan Lajovic.
But his fun ended on Thursday when his former doubles partner Hubert Hurkacz won a tight match 6-4 6-4 7-6 (3) on Court 18.
The 27-year-old, who changed his nationality to British in 2019 and is ranked 164th in the world, got the taste for SW19 and wants a 2024 repeat.
“I would be very happy coming back next year,” he said. “Maybe even without needing a wild card for the main draw, try my best to get my ranking to a position where I can enter the tournament by myself.”
Liam Broady lives his childhood dream with epic Centre Court victory
09:45 , Luke Baker
Liam Broady admitted it took a monumental effort to realise his childhood dream as a career-best win over Casper Ruud on Centre Court made him the first British male into the third round at Wimbledon.
Broady outlasted world number four Ruud on Thursday to win 6-4 3-6 4-6 6-3 6-0 in an enthralling contest that lasted three hours and 27 minutes.
Victory over Ruud, who had made the finals of Roland Garros and the US Open during the past 12 months, was even sweeter for the Stockport left-hander given it took place in front of a buoyant Centre Court crowd.
“It was a pretty terrifying, exhilarating experience coming out at Centre Court on Wimbledon, but it’s been my dream since I was five-years-old,” Broady reflected, having lost his only other match on the venue to Andy Murray in straight sets in 2016.
“I played on Court One in the finals of the juniors (in 2011). I was a set and a break up. I completely choked it, completely guffed it. That has kind of haunted me my entire career, to be honest. It always bothered me coming back, playing on the bigger courts and never really feeling like I was comfortable and had performed. Losing to Andy on Centre, losing to (Milos) Raonic on One, then (Alex) De Minaur on One and never winning so much as a set.
“That’s why it felt good. I feel like it’s taken a monumental effort for me personally to be able to win a match on Centre Court at Wimbledon. I mean, Novak (Djokovic) hasn’t lost a match on Centre in 10 years, which is a testament to how good of a player he is, as well, but that was a big one for me.”
Calculated gamble ensures Katie Boulter’s Wimbledon ‘rollercoaster’ continues
09:30 , Luke Baker
Katie Boulter hurled her fist into the air, her ponytail swishing from side to side. A magnificent victory was claimed against Viktoriya Tomova on Court 12 at Wimbledon. Riding a wave of momentum, Boulter has galloped into the third round. The reward for some audacious tennis is the opportunity of her career, in all likelihood: Centre Court against the defending champion Elena Rybakina.
Boulter has previously lit up SW19, beating former finalist Karolina Pliskova last year, but there is now a fiery determination to her game, swatting 36 winners across a pulsating hour and 43 minutes. Tomova, left helpless for much of this game, could only applaud at times. It is no coincidence her breakout comes on the grass, either.
“I think I embrace it a lot. I’m an aggressive player,” Boulter said. “I enjoy going for it, I feel I have more of an opportunity to play my game on the grass. Sometimes you’ve got to back yourself and trust the process. If you go for it and lose, you can take it.”
It wasn’t all about Andy Murray yesterday and Jack Rathborn took in British women’s No 1 Katie Boulter reaching the third round:

Good morning from Wimbledon
09:28 , Jamie Braidwood
We go again. Wimbledon is picture-perfect this morning with the best weather of the week so far. It’s set to be a hot one today, with a temperature of 28c or 29c expected later this afternoon.
That, of course, is when we are expecting Andy Murray’s second-round match with Stefanos Tsitsipas to resume, in what will be completely different conditions to last night’s epic action under the roof.
There’s a real sense of anticipation already both inside and outside the grounds - almost like the day of a final. The Wimbledon queue is absolutely insane already - with a sea of people making Wimbledon Park look like an afternoon at Glastonbury.
‘It didn’t seem real’: Andy Murray’s generation-defining Wimbledon triumph, 10 years on
09:15 , Luke Baker
When Andy Murray won his maiden grand slam, at the 2012 US Open, the reality of the situation was lost on the Scot for the briefest of moments. As Novak Djokovic propelled a forehand beyond the baseline inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, Murray gave a trademark pump of the fist. ‘A point well won.’
It was approximately two seconds later that Murray, 25 at the time, actually realised what he had done – perhaps not the wider magnitude of it, but at least what it meant in his own life.
He had not just won Britain’s first major men’s singles title in 76 years, he had removed one of the most persistent and ferocious monkeys from his back. Yet there was another still clinging to the Scot’s spine, one that would delight in screeching: ‘You’ve never won Wimbledon.’

Andy Murray: What does AMC stand for on Wimbledon kit?
08:25 , Luke Baker
Andy Murray continues his Wimbledon campaign on Friday against Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The second-round is developing into an epic after a routine win over Ryan Peniston in the first round on Centre Court.
The two-time champion sports a fairly unique kit compared to his rivals and the sport’s best male players such as Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
Sponsored by AMC, the branding has been clear across the Scot’s chest throughout his warm-up tournaments and practice towards the end of last week.
AMC has been across Murray’s social media in the build-up to SW19 too. So what is AMC and what do they do? Here is everything you need to know about Murray’s kit sponsor.

Andy Murray and Stefanos Tsitsipas’ frosty history explained: ‘It’s cheating’
08:10 , Luke Baker
We know that all eyes will be on Andy Murray and Stefanos Tsitsipas when they resume this afternoon but it’s fair to say the pair have somewhat of a frosty history together.
When Murray and Tsitsipas, 24, played each other at the 2021 US Open, the Briton accused his opponent of ‘cheating’ for taking a seven-minute-long toilet break. Tsitsipas went on to win in five sets.
Addressing the 2021 US Open drama around his match with Murray, Tsitsipas added: “I think it has been settled already, a long time ago. We had to play Laver Cup together in the same team. I’ve forgotten about it. He has forgotten about it.

Wimbledon order of play and Friday’s schedule
07:37 , Luke Baker
The conclusion of Andy Murray’s match against Stefanos Tsitsipas adds to an already stacked schedule on CentreCourt on Friday as Wimbledon begins to heat up up the All England Club.
Murray will resume two sets to you up against Tsitipas, while Novak Djokovic returns to Centre Court - and the seven-time Wimbledon champion will follow arguably his biggest threat this year.
World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz has been gradually adjusting to the grass and looks to be timing his form perfectly.
The Serb takes on two-time grand slam champion Stan Wawrinka, while the Spaniard battles Alexandre Muller. Iga Swiatek, the women’s No.1 seed, is back too and the Polish star faces Petra Martic.
While two British heroes from Thursday are back: After Liam Broady’s epic win over Casper Ruud, he’ll take on Denis Shapovalov. Katie Boulter, meanwhile, is back in singles action on Saturday, but she is set to play doubles with her partner Alex De Minaur. Here is Friday’s intended order of play:

Tsitsipas looked to have the point sown-up behind the forehand, but Tsitsipas then frames the Murray slice! Centre Court erupts!
And that’s far too hesitant from Tsitsipas! He almost apologetically taps a backhand into Murray’s path, and Murray puts away the volley.
30-30: Murray goes big on the return... long!
Tsitsipas then holds with a serve out wide. Murray can’t return.

Murray had the chance to flick a backhand pass down the line, but Tsitsipas reads it at the net to put away the volley. Tsitsipas finds his level again and pushes Murray deep onto his forehand side to get the hold. Murray still without a break point chance midway through the second set.

SET! Andy Murray 6-7 Stefanos Tsitsipas
Tsitsipas only requires one set point. It’s brilliant defence from the Greek after Murray pushed him back with backhand attacks down the line. He then turns defence into attack to send Murray chasing with the lob. Murray reaches it but Tsitsipas replies again with the forehand, and finally Murray nets!
That’s tough on Murray. There wasn’t much in that opening set but the fifth seed edges it. He’s managed to tame Murray so far.
