Andy Murray is into his seventh consecutive Wimbledon quarter-final.
Defending champion Andy Murray advanced to the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the seventh year in a row on Monday as he defeated Kevin Anderson in straight sets. The players were escorted back to the locker room for 27 minutes with Murray leading 3-0 in the second set as rain caused the Centre Court roof to close. While Murray was able to return and close out victory, his quarter-final counterparts, Grigor Dimitrov and Leonardo Mayer playing on No. 1 Court, are still waiting out the rain delay, with Dimitrov up 6-4, 6-5 on serve in the second set. The third-seeded Murray is yet to drop a set in four matches at The Championships. The 27-year-old Murray ended Great Britain's 77-year wait for a homegrown male Wimbledon champion last year as he beat Novak Djokovic in the final to lift his second Grand Slam championship trophy. The Dunblane native had been runner-up to Roger Federer in 2012 and has a 41-7 event record.
