British hopes for a local Wimbledon win are still alive after Scot Andy Murray battled back from the brink of defeat to beat Richard Gasquet in an epic five-set clash on Centre Court.
Murray looked down and out when his French opponent served for the match at 5-4 in the third set but an incredible turn of events saw him claim a magical 5-7 3-6 7-6 (7/3) 6-2 6-4 triumph late on Monday evening.
The final set was played with the light fading out on court and the patriotic crowd were roaring Murray towards the finish line.
He will now meet second seed Rafael Nadal of Spain in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.
