Andy Murray survives rollercoaster encounter with Fabio Fognini

Andy Murray survived a rollercoaster encounter with volatile Italian Fabio Fognini last night to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon.

The defending champion had breezed through his opening two matches but found his future in the tournament under serious threat amid a deafening atmosphere on Centre Court.

Fognini is a fiery character and was docked a point for obscene behaviour but had five chances to force a deciding set before Murray fought back to win 6-2 4-6 6-1 7-5.
