The Scot led by a set and a break but momentum switched to Otte, an SW19 debutant ranked 151st in the world. Murray, 34, looked weary as Otte won the third set for a 2-1 lead, before darkness forced the pair off court. But with the crowd behind him, Murray fought back to win 6-3 4-6 4-6 6-4 6-2. The 7,500 fans allowed inside Centre Court as part of the government's event research programme had been subdued until Murray urged them for more support from the fourth set onwards.
