The pair will play out their second-round clash on Centre Court this afternoon, with the fifth-seed Greek having overcome Dominic Thiem in round one.

Meanwhile, in Tuesday’s match against Ryan Peniston, Murray maintained his record of never losing in the Wimbledon first round, winning 6-3 6-0 6-1 against the fellow Brit. The match was watched by Roger Federer.

After the match, Murray said: “It was amazing to have some royalty here but also some tennis royalty as well. It’s amazing to have Roger here supporting this event.

“I started off the match quite nervous. Once I got the break in the first set, I think I played some good stuff. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt physically this good coming into Wimbledon. I’m hoping I’m fit and ready for a good run.”

Murray, 36, has won Wimbledon twice and his Athens-born opponent has never been past the fourth round. But Tsitsipas is Murray’s junior at 24 and achieved better results this year — getting to the Australian Open final and the quarter-final at Roland Garros.

Tsitsipas is also playing doubles at Wimbledon in the men’s competition with his younger brother Petros Tsitsipas and additionally in the mixed doubles with Paula Badosa.

Badosa is a former women’s number two singles player who is said to be dating Stefanos Tsitsipas. Hopefully, their romance can survive the ordeal even if they are knocked out by first-round opponents Jessica Pegula and Austin Krajicek — the number one seeds.

When is Andy Murray playing his next match at Wimbledon?

Murray and Tsitsipas will be third onto Centre Court on Thursday afternoon, following Casper Ruud v Liam Broady, which has now started, and Alizé Cornet v Elena Rybakina.

There is no official time as tennis games do not have an end point in their minutes or hours. But it is likely Murray and Tsitsipas will be on court from around 4.45pm.
