Murray defeated Germany's Oscar Otte 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 here at the Centre Court to progress to the third round. The 34-year-old Murray will now lock horns against Denis Shapavalov in the third round.

The Britain tennis player made light work of his opponent Otte in the first set, and he ended up winning it 6-3.

However, Otte came back strongly and the German went on to win the next two sets by 6-4 margin and as a result, Murray's back was against the wall, and he needed to win two sets to progress to the third round.

At that stage, Murray showed his class and determination, and he went on to win the fourth and fifth set. In the fourth set, Murray dropped four games while in the fifth, he just dropped two.
