Andy Murray battled a shoulder injury to get past Andreas Seppi in the third round of the 2015 Wimbledon Open, beating the Italian in four sets: 6-2, 6-2, 1-6, 6-1.

The 2013 champion appeared to be on his way to an easy win, but in the third set, his game fell apart. Seppi took full advantage and seemed on the verge of a major upset, but Murray righted the ship just in time. He'll face Ivo Karlovic in the next round.

Murray and Seppi had to wait a while before they could start their match, as several of the Centre Court matches ahead of them took longer to finish than anticipated. But when the two made their way onto the court, the fans still gave them a rousing applause, per Wimbledon's official Twitter account:



Meanwhile, via BBC Sport, the long wait for local hero Murray took its toll on his fans:



Seppi is a defensive clay specialist, and early in the first set, it was clear his particular strengths didn't match well with Murray. The 2013 champion has been in fine form of late, and he quickly broke Seppi's serve with a series of excellent returns.

Murray aggressively stepped into the court and didn't allow the Italian to get behind the ball, forcing him to move and chase countless shots. The Scot made the difference in the rallies as well, easily leading Seppi in winners in the first set.

As shared by Bet365, that first set was over in the blink of an eye:



According to BBC Tennis, some viewers wouldn't have to worry about missing their favourite show at this rate:



The second set brought more of the same. Murray immediately broke Seppi's serve and cruised from that point on, while the Italian looked a step slow and couldn't find the depth in his shots. Murray remains one of the best during rallies, and with so much space to step into the court, it was almost too easy for the local hero.
