Andy Murray is to make a swift return to the Centre Court to resume his match with Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The Scottish tennis star is just one set away from a place in the third round of Wimbledon.
The battle will resume on the same day that he became the first British player to win the Wimbledon men’s singles title for 77 years in 2013.
Last night, the two-time champion was two sets to one up against the Greek fifth seed when play was halted at around 10.40pm on Thursday night.
Crucially, all Murray fans will be keen to see how the player is fairing after the injury scare he suffered in the penultimate point of Thursday night’s action.
On set point, the 36-year-old went down screaming when trying to change direction before picking himself up and delivering an unreturnable serve that put him 2-1 up.
The match referee then decided it was too late to start a fourth set, meaning Murray and Tsitsipas must return on Friday afternoon to finish with the Scot leading 6-7 (3) 7-6 (2) 6-4.

But when is Andy Murray expected to return to the centre stage?
With the play resuming on the Centre Court, the Scottish player is not expected to continue the match before 3pm.
This is because play on the Centre Court kicks off at 1.30pm but Carlos Alcaraz is to face Alexandre Müller first.
Murray will then get a chance to finish his match with Tsitsipas in the second slot.
