As the sun set in London on Thursday, Andy Murray and Stefanos Tsitsipas were serving up a spectacle under the lights on Center Court
It’s what Wimbledon is all about. As the sun set in London on Thursday, Andy Murray and Stefanos Tsitsipas were serving up a spectacle under the lights on Centre Court. Murray, a three-time grand slam champion, was rolling back the years and stood toe-to-toe against his 24-year-old Greek opponent. The Scot had battled back after losing the first set to take a 2-1 lead in the tie, but the match was paused as it approached 11 p.m. local time, due to restrictions implemented by the local council.
The 36-year-old Murray has struggled with injuries in recent years but was bullish about his form heading into his home slam and delighted crowds on Thursday with his trademark determination. He even overcame an injury scare in the second set when he slipped on the court and let out a scream. The crowd took a sharp intake of breath as they watched the Scot climb back to his feet but he recovered well to serve out the set.
