Andy Murray edges quarter-final thriller at Wimbledon

Andy Murray survived a Centre Court thriller to reach the semi-finals of Wimbledon for the seventh time last night.

The world number two had cruised into the last eight but was taken the distance by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga before coming through 7-6 (12/10) 6-1 3-6 4-6 6-1 after three hours and 53 minutes.

Murray has made a habit of fighting back from two sets down but this time it was Tsonga threatening to do the improbable.
