Murray wins in nail-biting five-setter



ANDY Murray survived a fright under lights but his Wimbledon dream lives on, although only just.

As day turned into night, Murray survived a prime-time tussle that decimated TV schedules and enthralled millions.

Murray will have no time for the fact he was involved in the first-ever entire match to be played under Wimbledon's new £80 million roof.

Or in the latest ever game to finish at the All England Club and the first played under floodlights.

He is still eyeing another much more prized place in history and the dream of a British winner, after a 73-year drought, lives on following this 2-6, 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 victory over Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka.

"That was pretty special and Stan played a great match," said Murray.

"The standard he set was tough to keep up with and I was getting very tired towards the end.

"I'm not dreaming about winning yet but I'm taking a lot of confidence into my next match."
