Unfortunately for Golden Balls, it was a tad soggy in west London, with play being halted for a second day in a row.

More than two hours of play was lost.

The most action on display at the tournament was the stewards racing across the famous turf with covers – left utterly drenched by the end.

Murray finally got to see some action at around 5.15pm but was broken in the first set by world No 49 Nicolas Mahut.

Murray earlier this month reached the French Open final for the first time in his career, only to lose to an inspired Novak Djokovic.
