Wimbledon Day 5: Stefanos Tsitsipas outlasts Andy Murray after two-day match

In the longest — and perhaps the most thrilling —match of Wimbledon thus far, Stefanos Tsitsipas came back to defeat Andy Murray in a five-set match played over two days on Friday.

Murray, 36, actually held a two-sets-to-one advantage over Tsitsipas, 24, when their match was suspended after the third set Thursday night due to an 11 p.m. curfew. But when play resumed, Tsitsipas forced a fifth set after he beat Murray in a crucial fourth-set tiebreak. Tsitsipas grabbed the fifth to win 7-6(3), 6-7(2), 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-4. When all was said and done, the match lasted four hours and 40 minutes.
