Andy Murray denied comeback by Wimbledon curfew as groin strain has him screaming in pain

Wimbledon's 11pm curfew denied Andy Murray a thrilling comeback win over Stefanos Tsitsipas on Thursday night.

And the Scot and the Greek No.5 seed will return to Centre Court to complete their second round match on Friday. Tennis fans booed their disapproval when suspension of play was announced with Murray leading 6-7 7-6 6-4 at 10.40pm

The double Wimbledon champion, who slipped and shrieked in agony in the final game, left the showcourt to huge applause after two hours and 54 minutes of action. The match did not start under the Centre Court roof until 7.46pm following Liam Broady’s five-set win against Casper Ruud.
