Murray beats Seppi at Wimbledon

Britain’s Andy Murray overcame a shoulder problem to beat Italy’s Andreas Seppi in four sets and secure a place in the second week of Wimbledon.

Murray, seeded third, won 6-2 6-2 1-6 6-1 to set up a fourth-round match with Croatian 23rd seed Ivo Karlovic.

There were worrying moments for the 2013 champion as he failed to win a game for 40 minutes and had treatment to his shoulder in the fourth set.

But having lost six games in a row, Murray, 28, swept through the last six.

Asked about the shoulder issue, Murray said: “It is something I had the last two, three days.” —Bbc
