Murray Through.

Got the measure of him in the second set but made hard work of the rest of the match. His opponent was no mug, he was tenth in the World last year so it was a measure of how hard Murray was going to have to work to beat Wawrinka. Murray was let down by his poor first serves. If he wants to go any further he has to sort that out. The match see sawed back and forth between the two players from the 3rd set onwards but I believe it was only Murray's general fitness and that he was some ten years yonger than his opponent that got him through. Having said all that it was generally regarded as the best match of the tournament so far. It also made history as the first Wimbledon match to be played under floodlights.
Final scores were 2-6 6-3 6-3 5-7 6-3 Murray.
