It is the 10th successive year Murray has reached the last 16 at Wimbledon and he had never lost at this stage to somebody ranked as low as Fognini. Polar oppositesIn tennis terms, Murray and Fognini are polar opposites: the Italian is the epitome of attacking flamboyance, while Murray is a determined defender. That did not seem to be troubling Murray, however, when he broke Fognini twice and raced to take the first set. He regained his cool and broke Murray's serve again in the fifth game, this time consolidating and holding firm to clinch the set. Yet, with the Centre Court crowd willing Murray on, the Scot fought back, breaking twice before serving out with an ace.
