Wimbledon 2023 LIVE: Stefanos Tsitsipas beats Andy Murray after fifth-set decider as Cameron Norrie knocked out

Break! *Novak Djokovic 4-2 Stan Wawrinka

Insane hitting from Djokovic, and brilliant defence from Wawrinka! It develops into a long rally as Djokovic pushes for the break, Wawrinka hangs on, but the Serbian just does not miss on these sorts of points.

Djokovic is in a race against the clock tonight. He’s got until 11pm to beat the dreaded Wimbledon curfew, but as Andy Murray found out last night – sometimes play is called even earlier than that.

Iga Swiatek overcame a late start and the lack of a Centre Court crowd to progress into the fourth round of Wimbledon with a straight-sets win over Petra Martic.

Swiatek had been scheduled to play second on the biggest venue at the All England Club on Friday, but Andy Murray’s unfinished match with Stefanos Tsitsipas had to be squeezed in before she did battle with the 30th seed.

By the time Swiatek walked out just before 6.30pm, the majority of the crowd had exited following Murray’s five-set defeat.

But the world number one showed why she is a four-time grand-slam champion with a professional display in a 6-2 7-5 victory that equals her best showing in SW19.

*Novak Djokovic 1-1 Stan Wawrinka

Stan Wawrinka, a three-time grand slam champion, gave himself “no chance” of ending Novak Djokovic’s winning run at Wimbledon.

This is their first meeting at the grass-court grand slam, and Wawrinka saves three break points in his opening game from 0-40 to hold!

So Wawrinka is bringing more fight than he may have suggested…

Andy Murray slumped into the press conference room at Wimbledon, dumping his bags by his feet and lowering his stiff and weary body into a chair. Before shuffling across the stage, Murray believed he had been edged out by Stefanos Tsitsipas in a battle that could have gone either way. After resuming their contest on Friday afternoon, Tsitsipas didn’t allow Murray any break-point chances, raising his level in the fourth-set tiebreak and then again at the start of the fifth. Murray competed until the end, but the fifth seed ultimately showed his class as he denied the Briton a famous comeback.

The disappointment of exiting Wimbledon gets tougher every year Murray gets older. The chances are running out and this will hurt more than most because of how close he came. The 36-year-old had the momentum and stood a set away from the third round on Thursday night, when play was suspended due to the 11pm Wimbledon curfew. He returned in the blazing sunshine on Centre Court exactly ten years to the day since his first Wimbedon title, looking to recreate the magic from a decade ago.

Centre Court was febrile, expectant, ready to break out into the frenzy of the night before. At 4-4 in the fourth set, Murray was beginning to crackle and fire the crowd into life, holding his serve comfortably and pumping his fist as he sensed the opportunity. A forehand winner set up 15-30 against the Tsitsipas serve and, on the following point, Murray took aim at a short, sharp backhand return. Centre Court roared, but the ball was called out. It had missed the line by inches, or so Murray assumed. He didn’t know it, but the ball actually landed in

Denis Shapovalov def. Liam Broady 4-6 6-2 7-5 7-5

Liam Broady’s impressive Wimbledon journey is over after he was beaten in the third round by Denis Shapovalov.

The British number five enjoyed a dream Centre Court victory over fourth seed Casper Ruud on Thursday but he was unable to produce another shock, going down 4-6 6-2 7-5 7-5.

The defeat ended British interest in the men’s singles as Broady followed Andy Murray and Cameron Norrie out on a chastening afternoon for the male home players.

He will perhaps have some regrets as he served to go two sets to one up against Shapovalov, but will leave the tournament feeling proud of his efforts as the British man who got the furthest.

He matched his best performance at a grand slam and the £131,000 payday and rankings boost will make a tangible difference to his career, starting with the prospect of him making the US Open main draw next month.

A devastated Andy Murray was left questioning his motivation to keep going after Stefanos Tsitsipas fought back to win their delayed second-round clash on Centre Court.

The Scot was two sets to one up overnight after the 11pm curfew came into play but he was unable to complete the job, with fifth seed Tsitsipas battling to a 7-6 (3) 6-7 (2) 4-6 7-6 (3) 6-4 victory.

It was a hugely disappointing way for Murray to mark the 10th anniversary of his career-defining first Wimbledon title, and he is all too aware that his chances for another deep run here are ebbing away.

Murray: “This was an opportunity for me to go on a run. I didn’t take it.

Murray on how confident he is he will be back next year: “I don’t know. The motivation will be there but early losses at major tournaments don’t help with that. It’s similar to last year. I had a long think and talk with my family. I don’t plan to stop right now. This one will take a while to get over but I want to find the motivation to go again.”

Murray is only finding out now that his backhand return at 15-30 at 4-4 in the fourth set, which was called out, was actually in.

He freezes. He didn’t know, and he puts his head in his hands as he finds out. He says we would have likely won the point – and it would have given him two break points.

Andy Murray after his five-set defeat to Stefanos Tsitsipas: “I’m very disappointed just now. You never know how many opportunities you’re going to get here. Every year I’ve gone out here it’s been hard.”

The 36-year-old is not blaming anything on last night’s curfew: “We knew the situation going into the match. The same result could have happened. We knew it was unlikely someone could have won the fourth set. It seemed like a reasonable time to stop.”

More from Tsitipas who added: “It did not help me that much, You are dealing with a lot of things. You are dealing with Andy Murray at the other side of the net, a set down and now was the most challenging part today.

“He can return a lot of balls and make it a marathon and I had to work extra hard. My legs are sore, and he made he run left and run, up and down for how many hours.”
