Fans boo Tsitsipas in late night clash

Wimbledon fans booed Stefanos Tsitsipas as his match with Britain’s Andy Murray was suspended by the 11pm curfew on Thursday night.

The pair will return to centre court today to complete their match with Murray leading 6-7, 7-6, 6-4.

Fans had earlier jeered the Greek star after he extended a toilet break to six minutes, leaving Murray on court waiting for his delayed return.

The pair didn’t get their match under way until 7.45pm and after two hours both players used the interval to go for a break off the court.

Murray returned but was kept waiting for Tsitsipas with the partisan crowd not impressed.

Play on centre court today is due to begin at 1.30pm with top seed Carlos Alcaraz facing Alexandre Muller.

Iga Swiatek v Petra Martic and Stan Wawrinka v Novak Djokovic are also scheduled, with the conclusion of the Murray-Tsitsipas match now on second.
