- Scot will play Denis Shapovalov in third round
- Murray was two sets to one down against Otte
It was an all too familiar sight; Andy Murray fighting with everything he has deep into a south-west London night on a Centre Court that has witnessed so many of his greatest victories, but even after 16 years after his Wimbledon debut it still never gets old.
Not for the fans who screamed and cheered until it all ended with a sickly sweet lob winner, nor for Murray who dipped into those bottomless reserves of willpower that have sustained him for so long and emerged, somehow, with another win to reach the third round of Wimbledon by defeating Oscar Otte of Germany 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2.
