Gary Lineker perfectly sums up Andy Murray after spirited Wimbledon heroics

Gary Lineker hailed Andy Murray's fighting spirit as the tennis star refused to give up on his Wimbledon dream.

Murray was the last to play on Centre Court on Thursday night, taking on fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. Fifth seed Tsitsipas took the first set on a tie-break, only for the Scot to battle back and level things up by the same method before breaking his opponent early in the third set and taking a two sets to one lead.

The pair began the third set in the knowledge that Wimbledon's 11pm cut-off time meant they were unlikely to reach a resolution - and so it proved, with Murray and Tsitsipas forced to finish their match at a later date. Nevertheless, the efforts of two-time SW19 champion Murray didn't go unnoticed as he gave everything he had.
