Ten years on from his first Wimbledon triumph, Murray shows incredible fight in recent years after having a metal cap inserted into his hip in 2019. The former world number one was almost forced to retire from the sport due to injury four years ago but has slowly worked his way back up the rankings and is beginning to show signs of the form that helped him reach 11 Grand Slam finals, winning three of them.
The 36-year-old beat fellow Brit Ryan Peniston 6-3 6-0 6-1 in the first round on Tuesday and has had plenty of time to recover, while Tsitsipas came through a five-set epic against Dominic Thiem that finished late on Wednesday evening. The 24-year-old is no stranger to going deep in Slam tournaments, having reached the final of the French Open in 2021 and the Australian Open final earlier this year.
However, Tsitsipas has struggled to find his best form on the grass courts at SW19 and has never made it past the fourth round. He also knows he’ll have little support from a crowd that will be roaring Murray on. "Centre Court is almost like his living room so I’m not expecting there to be anyone supporting me," he joked after his 3-6 7-6 (7-1) 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (10-8) victory over Thiem.
The pair have only met twice before, with Tsitsipas coming through a fiery encounter at the US Open when Murray accused him of cheating for taking a lengthy eight-minute toilet break before the fifth set. The Scot then gained his revenge a year later when he secured a straight sets win on grass courts in Stuttgart.
Fans can expect high-quality tennis and plenty of long baseline rallies in the conclusion of this must-watch tennis match. Catch this epic Wimbledon clash by tuning into a free Murray vs Tsitsipas live stream. Scroll down for details, the daily schedule and the seeds.

How to watch Murray vs Tsitsipas live streams from anywhere with a VPN

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favourite.
