ANDY MURRAY v DUSTIN BROWN LIVE UPDATES
5.02pm: “Oh wow, that is awesome,” Tim Henman, in the commentary box, purrs.
Dustin Brown has just unleashed a 98mph backhand winner and Tim is right. That’s fantastic.
It comes to nothing, though. Brown is teeing off on return and mixing his game up with plenty of drop shots but Murray is equal to it.
That’s despite another huge forehand that comes off his racket like a missile.
Anyhow, Murray leads, 3-2.
4.50pm: Few empty seats on a baking hot Centre Courtas fans get some grub after that Johanna Konta thriller.
Murray serves first, holds and Dustin Brown does the same. It’s hard to put into words what a character this man is. He’s one of the best players on tour to watch and this should be a cracker.
And he’s a serious player, too. In 2015 he beat Rafael Nadal, remember.
Murray holds again and it’s on serve at 2-1.
4.35pm: Finally, after what feels like hours, Andy Murray is on court. Wait, it has been hours.
Centre Court fans were short-changed yesterday after both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic were forced off early when their opponents retired through injury.
But today they’ve been treated to a thriller. After 3hr 10mins, Johanna Konta finally overcame Donna Vekic to move into round three.
She is the third Brit into round three following wins for Heather Watson and Aljaz Bedene – so can Andy make it four Brit wins for the day?
Standing in his way is Dustin Brown, the most entertaining player on the tour.
Stay with us, the pair are knocking up on court now.
