Could be another late one tomorrow, Murray is scheduled on Margaret Court Arena during the night session once again!
Not before 8am GMT - that's my Saturday morning (and possibly afternoon! :greengrin) taken care of.

Could be another late one tomorrow, Murray is scheduled on Margaret Court Arena during the night session once again!
Not before 8am GMT - that's my Saturday morning (and possibly afternoon! :greengrin) taken care of.
Huge shock as Norrie loses the last 2 sets and goes out!
So who's up for this then?
Personally cannot wait - 30-15 to Bautista-Agut in the opening game.
Come on Andy!
As expected Evans lost in straight sets to Rublev.
Bautista-Agut breaks and leads 2-0.
Not looking good so far - 3-0.
I just hope David Marshall doesn’t have too tough a run about against Novak given our kick off time tomorrow.
5-1 Bautista Agut.
Think this may be a quick one unfortunately.
First set to Bautista Agut - 6-1.
Bautista Agut breaks in the second set to go 2-1 up.
Going to be a speedy exit I think. Can't get near this guys serve, and he's returning superbly.Quote:

Commentators just said he's won 17 straight service points against Murray. Don't think I've seen a service game as strong as this in a long time, if ever.Quote:

5-4 Murray.
I know I keep saying this but this guy is incredible.
Second set tiebreak.
Murray wins the second set tiebreak. :thumbsup:
I've said it before, but he really is superhuman, what a man. :top marks
Straight sets you say?:greengrin
I clearly know nothing.Quote:

Third set Bautista Agut - 6-3.
Murray breaks to go 2-0 up in the fourth set. :thumbsup:
Bautista Agut breaks straight back.
Hibs just get a mention. :thumbsup:
Crazy how mentally strong he is
Bautista Agut breaks again and will serve for the match 5-4 up.
Bautista Agut wins 6-1 6-7 6-3 6-4.
Good effort from Murray but that was just one marathon match too far for him.
Fair play to Bautista Agut, he's got a great temperament and he played really well and was so solid on serve against one of the game's greatest ever returners.
What a sportsman Andy Murray is. My favourite ever I reckon.
Jamie Murray keeps the family flag flying in the mixed doubles
Novak looks on a different level in this tournament
Can’t see Tommy Paul or Tsisipas getting anywhere near him
Greatest ever.Quote:

I haven’t seen it. But if it’s anywhere near the greatness of his tennis, his wife is a lucky lady.Quote:

Congratulations Novak. Never been my favourite player but absolutely no doubting his talent, drive and mental toughness.
The guy’s tennis is out of this world.
Great win from the best tennis player of all time.
Winding up all the right people as well. Pleasing.
Well done ND :aok:
GOAT :agree:
He's an utter tw*t. Always has been. Feigning a 'hamstring injury' throughout the tournament to try and garner support sums him up.Quote:

I'm not that fussy about his on court attitude as he's a winner and a tremendous one at that
Not if you think one is an utter tw*t (on and off the court) and the other is a terrific sportsman in all respects.Quote:

I'm sure it's his change to a gluten-free diet that changed his almost superhuman change in fitness levels. Nothing else...Quote:
