- Briton comes from set down to lead fifth seed
- Match resumes on Friday at 6-7 (3), 7-6 (2), 6-4
Andy Murray has placed himself in a strong position as he chases his biggest win of the last six years after establishing a 6-7 (3), 7-6 (2), 6-4 lead against Stefanos Tsitsipas, the fifth seed, before their Wimbledon second round match was postponed at 10:40pm due to the 11pm curfew at the All England Club. Murray and Tsitsipas will return on Friday afternoon to complete their match with a place in the last 32 on the line.
As Murray waltzed to two grass-court challenger titles this summer, Tsitsipas arrived at Wimbledon in curious form. Despite reaching the final of the Australian Open, seven months into the season he still has not won a title. His form was even worse on grass, where he compiled a dire 1-3 record ahead of Wimbledon with two first round losses.
