Andy Murray stumbled in the third set before closing out a relatively comfortable victory over Andreas Seppi to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon.
Murray was broken twice in the third set and again to start the fourth but bounced back to win 6—2, 6—2, 1—6, 6—1 Saturday on Centre Court. After losing six straight games, he won the last six of the match and closed out the win with an ace.
The 2013 champion will next play Ivo Karlovic of Croatia.
Meanwhile, Roger Federer quickly found his stride again to advance at Wimbledon.
Federer dropped a set for the first time this week but never looked in real trouble against Sam Groth, beating the hard—serving Australian 6—4, 6—4, 6—7 (5), 6—2 in the third round.
Federer never faced a break point on Centre Court and only failed to break Groth’s serve in the third set, where he double—faulted to give the Australian a 4—3 lead in the tiebreaker.
Federer is bidding for a record eighth Wimbledon title. He has not lost to an Australian at a major since his first Grand Slam tournament, when he was beaten by Pat Rafter at the 1999 French Open.
