Murray finds way back from the brink

Andy Murray claimed one of the bravest wins of his career as he toughed it out against Fernando Verdasco to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals last night.

For the seventh time in his grand slam career, the Scot managed to pull out a victory from two sets behind.

The world No 2 had not dropped a set all tournament and Verdasco, only the Spanish No 9, was not expected to trouble him too much.
