Andreas Seppi showed enough zest and grit against the talented Croatian teenager Borna Coric to suggest he has the spirit to push Andy Murray when they meet in the third round on Saturday – but whether the 25th seed has the belief is another matter.
Speaking after fighting back from two sets to one down to win a raggedy yet enjoyable five-setter 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 (3-7), 6-1, 6-1 against Coric, Seppi admitted: “It’s going to be a tough match against Andy. I have lost the last few matches against him but I have nothing to lose so I’m going to give it my best.
