Tennis fans were left fuming over Andy Murray's defeat to Stefanos Tsitsipas after their second-round clash at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships extended over two days.On Thursday, July 6, the highly anticipated battle between Murray and Tsitsipas started in thrilling fashion. With both players holding strong on serve, the opening set headed into a tiebreak which was clinched by the fifth seed.Despite the setback, the two-time Wimbledon champion remained unnerved as he raised his level to claim the second and third sets. Leading 6-7 (3), 7-6 (2), 6-4, Murray's momentum was disrupted when the match was suspended at 10:38 pm local time to comply with the strict 11 pm curfew.Tsitsipas hit the ground running when play resumed on Friday, putting on a clinical performance to secure the fourth set in the tiebreak. He then took control of the decider after breaking the former World No. 1's serve early to record a 7-6(3), 6-7(2), 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-4 victory in four hours and 41 minutes.A fan attributed Murray's defeat to Wimbledon's 11 pm curfew, asserting that the Brit would have emerged victorious had the match been allowed to continue on July 6."I blame the Wimbledon Curfew. Murray would have won last night," the fan tweeted.Chris Goldsmith@TheTennisTalkerI blame the Wimbledon Curfew. Murray would have won last night #Wimbledon65729I blame the Wimbledon Curfew.

If it had been allowed to continue last night, while Andy had the momentum, he would have won it in 4. The atmosphere under the roof was extraordinary and it was willing him on. Very cruel timings.

Sorry, it was unlikely someone was going to win that set in 20 minutes or 19 minutes, whatever we had left to play. It seemed like a reasonable time to stop," Murray opined.When asked about his thoughts on the suspension of play during his post-match interview, Tsitsipas reflected on the pressure of trailing behind Murray and emphasized the challenges of figuring out the best solution to counter the Brit."You are dealing with a lot of things. First of all you are facing Andy Murray and are down. You have to come up with solutions and that was the most challenging part," he said.Following the win against Murray, Tsitsipas will take on Laslo Djere in the second round of the 2023 Wimbledon Championships. Djere came through with a 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-3 win over Ben Shelton to book his spot against the World No. 5.
