ANDY MURRAY is battling to pull off a major upset as his Centre Court progress was halted by the strict Wimbledon curfew.
As the clock ticked to 10.39pm, the Scot’s second-round tussle with No.5 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was suspended by French chair umpire Aurelie Tourte.
Play was stopped with Murray leading 2-1 in sets – 6-7 7-6 6-4 – following more than three hours of combat.
Tournament referee Gerry Armstrong asked both players if they wanted to stop after the third set and they agreed – even though fans booed the decision.
It means Murray, who had suffered cramp, must return on Friday – exactly 10 years since that epic first Wimbledon triumph – to try to book a third-round spot with Serbian Laslo Djere on Saturday.
