Wimbledon 2023: Andy Murray leads Stefanos Tsitsipas before play stopped by curfew

Andy Murray dazzled under the Wimbledon lights again as he led Greek fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in a Centre Court thriller stopped by a 23:00 BST curfew.

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.
