Andy Murray dazzles under the Wimbledon lights again as he leads Greek fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in a thriller on Centre Court.

Venue: All England Club Dates: 3-16 July
Coverage: Live across BBC TV, radio and online with extensive coverage on BBC iPlayer, Red Button, Connected TVs and mobile app. More coverage details here.

Britain’s Murray is ranked 40th but showed his pedigree on the SW19 grass to lead 6-7 (3-7) 7-6 (7-2) 6-4.

The second-round match was stopped at 22:39 BST because of the restrictions put in place by the local council.

Murray, who has regularly played late in recent years, and Tsitsipas will resume a captivating contest on Friday.

The pair will return to Centre Court after Spanish top seed Carlos Alcaraz plays France’s Alexandre Muller in the first match starting at 13:30 BST.

Moments after 36-year-old Murray had wrapped up the third set, tournament referee Gerry Armstrong walked onto the court and discussed stopping play for the night with each player.

Murray, who screamed out as he fell just before serving out for the lead, seemed to ask why they were being forced off.

Tsitsipas, 24, quickly packed his bags and seemed happy to have the opportunity to reset.
