Big Kokk’s swinging hard again.

This will hurt if he doesn’t win this after 3 break points

Make that 4. Huge hold for Kokkinakis.

That was the chance for Murray. Kokk saves 4 break points, fair play to him.

It was.

His serve is impressive and still good now.

Murray will need to dig in here.

So bizarre seeing Murray hobble around behind the baseline like a 90 year old then as soon as the balls in play he’s everywhere.
Good hold that

It's automated line calls.

That serve down the centre is killing Murray.

Easiest prediction ever is that the winner of this is going out in the next round. Incredible match but ludicrous scheduling.

Kokkinakis wins the 2nd set on a tie break, nearly impossible for Murray to come back from here.

"Nearly" being the operative word!  ;D ;D ;D

Andy Murray, at 35 years old and with a metal hip, wins from 2 sets and a break down after 5 hours and 45 minutes of play at 4:05am local time. Absolutely insane.

Yeah it’s a shame. In my head I still expect ‘the old Murray’ to turn this around. Kokkanakis playing well to be fair to him and seems to be keeping his head. Need him to blow it if there’s any way back for him.

About five minutes after I posted that he got the time valuation and lost his head a bit and then Murray made that amazing break of serve. Funny old game.

Fair play Andy Murray, fantastic win that. To come back from two sets down!

Nuts that the game is on at 4 in the morning though!
However if something serious happens to them I will eat my own cock.

Close that, almost got beat by someone wearing Ronaldo's earring.

That's just what Murray is capable of. Amazing.

If Murray didn't injure himself he'd absolutely have more Slams. I wonder what the total for Djokovic and Nadal would be if Andy didn't destroy his body?

I’ve plenty links to the clubs playing and backroom staff as many on here know thank you very much. Fair enough, I admire your optimism. But you’re absolute ostriches if you think this squad, even with 2 or 3 new, “cut price” players with potential get us anywhere close
