- Echoes of vintage Murray in 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win
- Two-times Wimbledon champion faces John Isner next
Andy Murray found himself dragged into another of those enthralling Centre Court nights under the lights – and responded with enough quality and finesse to suggest that he could yet make his deepest run for years over the next fortnight.
There was a fist pump and an almighty roar after Murray finally defeated the world No 74 James Duckworth 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 shortly after 9.30pm. But while the result was broadly expected, the way he did it – recovering from a scratchy first set to finish with 35 winners and just 14 unforced errors – left a searing impression.
