Ha’way the Brit!

Man of Steel, amazing.

Astounding

This fucker needs to retire, he causes me more stress than Sunderland do. What a bloke, what a f***ing hero. Two sets and 5-2 down man and then he does that?

Never mind one of the best tennis matches I've seen, that's one of the best matches in any sport I've seen.

I don’t even particularly like tennis but that was spectacular.

 

[Xtal99]

Some effort that, well played

 

[El Gen]

insane match that. Don't know where he gets it from but he keeps pulling it out of his locker. Hats off

 

[Aidan11]

Wow. I finished work with the score at 5-5 thinking this might be just to much for Murray to get over the line. I was wrong. What a game. Tennis' version of Superman.

 

[Wilsonian]

2 matches....10 sets....10hrs 35mins on court....metal hip.

Andy Murray is potentially the greatest sportsman to come out of these shores imo.

What he’s had to put his body through to compete in the era of Novak, Federer and Nadal is ludicrous.
Bloke is an absolute legend. The fact he’s still going is amazing.

Murray wins 3rd set tiebreak! Nearly 2 o’clock in the morning as well. Remarkable tennis

At which point I backed him to win 3-2 @ 4/1. Just seemed obvious somehow!

Murray's reward is now Bautista Agut in the 3rd round.
Not the bloke to play after 10 hours spent on court already.
Think agut wins in 4 over a very tired Murray

 

[FatCat2402]

Just an incredible effort. It's sad that not more people appreciate his efforts

It's a tricky one. If Murray can recover and beat Bautista Agut, the draw has really opened up as Bautista Agut is the only seed left in his quarter. I suspect he will lose through tiredness though.

I suspect that Norrie may be the only Brit in the second week. (Cue Norrie losing tomorrow and both Murray and Evans going through on Saturday)

Murray must be spent after the last couple of games

Massively. Got to hope he's on late on Saturday.

Watching Korda v. Medvedev. Medvedev two sets down and trailing in the third set. On the screen it says he is seeded seventh.

Is it just me or are the seeded players dropping like flies this year ?

Well you got the first bit in brackets right! Let’s hope the second half happens

Korda playing lights out tennis to beat Medvedev in straight sets, 2 year runner up out in the 3rd round.
Tsitsipas v Sinner 4th round, hoping the greek carries on his form and wins this tournament
