LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray's hopes of recreating the joyous British celebrations after winning Wimbledon 2013 did not look promising on Thursday as he lost to Czech Radek Stepanek in the Aegon Championships third round.

Top seed Stanislas Wawrinka ousted American Sam Querrey 6-2 6-2 and will play Marinko Matosevic in the quarter-finals after the Australian overcame an ankle injury to spring another shock by defeating a below-par Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-2 6-4.
