After watching the Andy Murray match I think those umpire chairs could do to be a couple of feet higher

[heretoday]

Five-setter against a top player and our man came through. I've been imploring him to give up and spare us the sight of him losing to guys he previously would wipe the floor with.

I may have to get the Come On Andy y-fronts out of the drawer again.

Rafa beaten in straight sets. Injured again unfortunately
TBF, McDonald was the better player before the injury.

I wonder if Rafa will retire before Andy

He is a couple of years older and has hardly played since retiring at Wimbledon last year.
Great win for Andy, but this time next year, maybe Novak will be the only one at the AO

There's just a year between Nadal and then Murray and Djokovic but I've thought for a while that Nadal would be retired well before the other two due to the way that he plays.

He'll be 37 later this year so he's done well to last as long as he has and whilst I can see Djokovic carrying on for a couple of more years, I think Murray (despite his incredible win over Berrettini) will probably go not too long after Nadal (who I wouldn't be surprised to see retiring at the end of this year).

[Sir David Gray]

Good win for Dan Evans in straight sets v Jeremy Chardy and he's safely into the 3rd round where he'll face a tougher test next v Andrey Rublev.

Murray will be on at a more respectable time for UK viewers today (at least if you're not working 🙄).

He'll probably not be on until after 10am GMT as he's last on Margaret Court Arena. Sacha Zverev is still in a 3rd set and at 1 set all in his match, then there's a women's match and then it's Murray.

[JeMeSouviens]

Murray on now.

Djokovic 2 sets to 1 up and has had a medical timeout seemingly to do with an ongoing hamstring issue. Although given his history of medical mind games I wouldn't read too much into that.

[Sir David Gray]

Kokkinakis won the first set 6-4.

Second set into a tiebreak, must win for Murray I think.

[Sir David Gray]

Kokkinakis wins the second set tiebreak.

Think that might be game, set and match but you never know.

Murray hanging on ... just.

[Hiber-nation]

Murray wins the 3rd set. Come on Andy!!

[silverhibee]

Kokk has a face you wouldn’t tire of slapping.

[silverhibee]

C’mon Andy.

[hibee_girl]

It’s crazy they are still out there playing, it’s 2.30am!

[JeMeSouviens]

Andy breaks! 4-2 in the 4th.

[hibeg]

Just in, nearly 3 in the morning over there. 😂
Cmon Andy

[JeMeSouviens]

Woohoo - 2 sets all!

[McSwanky]

Bloody hell, another 5 setter. How does he do it?

[Stairway 2 7]

Unbelievable stuff.

[Sir David Gray]

I can't believe I'm missing this for work!

[silverhibee]

Great tennis from both even though I have taken a real dislike for Kokkanakis.

[heretoday]

I was listening on the radio but the commentary is so annoying I had to turn it off.

[hibeg]

Andy can’t convert 4 break points.
4-3.
Got to give the Aussie credit

[silverhibee]

4-4

[JeMeSouviens]

Murray serving to stay in it, 4-5
