Andy Murray faces the toughest assignment of his remarkable Wimbledon return, with 10th seed Denis Shapovalov standing between the two-time champion and a place in the fourth round. Both of Murray’s matches so far have been utterly gripping, so read on as we explain how to watch Wimbledon tennis online and get a Murray vs Shapovalov live stream wherever you are right now – including ways to see it absolutely FREE.
Update: With Jabeur and Muguruza going the distance first up, and local hero Dan Evans likely to do likewise, it may be another late evening for Murray. Current estimate is 6pm-6.30pm, but that entirely depends on how long the match before goes on for.
Recovered from Wednesday night yet? Let’s hope Murray has too, after Oscar Otte pushed him all the way under the lights, in a match that was equal parts exhilarating and excruciating.
That’s just the Murray way.
He’s been the undisputed star of this year’s tournament, and today he faces his second seeded opponent of the draw. The Canadian Shapovalov, is not only 12 years his junior, but also very well rested having been handed a second round walkover.
Murray’s already spent more than twice as long on court than Shapovalov has this week, and he’ll once again be looking to whip the fans into a frenzy and feed off that neurotic energy in that inimitable fist-pumping, self-berating, crowd-glaring manner of his.
He’ll have to wait for two matches to complete before him on Centre Court today but it will be another emotional rollercoaster, and you can watch all the drama unfold as it happens by following our Murray vs Shapovalov live stream guide to watch Wimbledon 2021 tennis online today.
