Trailing two sets to one when the tie was halted the previous evening, Tsitsipas came through 7-6 (7/3), 6-7 (2/7), 4-6, 7-6 (7/3), 6-4.
LONDON - World number five Stefanos Tsitsipas battled back to defeat two-time champion Andy Murray and reach the Wimbledon third round on Friday.
For 36-year-old Murray, the defeat meant he still has not made the second week of a Grand Slam since reaching the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 2017."It's never easy against Andy, everyone here loves him," said the 24-year-old Tsitsipas, who hit a whopping 90 winners. Murray had been ahead when the match was halted on Thursday due to a local 11:00 pm tournament curfew.
However, the world number 40, who had secured the only break of serve in the first three sets, picked himself up to serve it out.
