Andy Murray's fightback delayed by rain at Stella Artois Championships
Tennis star Andy Murray saw his second-set fightback delayed by rain at the Stella Artois Championships on Tuesday.
Scottish player Andy Murray, 19, was all ready to level his first-round match against Serbian Janko Tipsarevic when rain called a halt to the game.
After losing the first set 7-6 (7-3), Andy Murray fought back to lead the second 5-2 with advantage to his opponent.
The two players are due back on court at 1130 BST on Wednesday and Tim Henman and world number two Rafael Nadal feature in later matches.
Andy Murray's fiery temper revealed itself once again when he was given a code violation for bad language during the first-set tie-break, and he had been caught up in a similar controversy in April when the British Davis Cup team were fined £1,434 for his swearing at the umpire.
Andy Murray made a rough start to his singles campaign at Queen's Club, missing several chances to take charge before conceding the first set.
Andy Murray is hoping to join fellow British player Tim Henman in the second round after the other four Britons all went out.
