2023 Australian Open

**Sir David Gray** · 21-01-2023 09:31 AM

What a point that was.

**Sir David Gray** · 21-01-2023 09:45 AM

Bautista Agut breaks to go 5-3 up in the third set.

**Sir David Gray** · 21-01-2023 09:47 AM

Third set Bautista Agut - 6-3.

**Sir David Gray** · 21-01-2023 10:01 AM

Murray breaks to go 2-0 up in the fourth set.

**Sir David Gray** · 21-01-2023 10:08 AM

Bautista Agut breaks straight back.

**Sir David Gray** · 21-01-2023 10:20 AM

Hibs just get a mention.

***Hibs90*** · 21-01-2023 10:33 AM

Crazy how mentally strong he is

**Sir David Gray** · 21-01-2023 10:35 AM

Bautista Agut breaks again and will serve for the match 5-4 up.

**Sir David Gray** · 21-01-2023 10:41 AM

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 bellend in sport.

Set one of the final looks like it's only going one way DJokovic 4-1 up after 20 minutes play

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

**heretoday** · 29-01-2023 09:33 AM

Two sets to nil for the Serb. No mercy.

***Hiber-nation*** · 29-01-2023 11:00 AM

I think he has at last overtaken Seb Coe as my least favourite sportsperson of all time.

**WeeRussell** · 29-01-2023 11:09 AM

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.

**Mcbizz1998** · 29-01-2023 11:14 AM

Great win from the best tennis player of all time.

Winding up all the right people as well. Pleasing.

***HibbyAndy*** · 29-01-2023 11:37 AM

Well done ND

GOAT

He's an utter tw*t. Always has been. Feigning a 'hamstring injury' throughout the tournament to try and garner support sums him up.

Some would argue that responding “what a sportsman” to Andy Murray winning two matches, and “utter twat” to another player winning the whole thing after nearly having to pull-out through injury, sums some viewers up.

It's a laugh innit? You have to be perfect in body and mind to satisfy some folk.
Actually, Andy is a pal of Novak's so he seems to admire him at least.

Ah I'd forgotten about that wee tory prick.

***Stairway 2 7*** · 29-01-2023 12:52 PM

He's a complete arse hole but a genius sportsman. My gripe is pushing an activation narrative. He's famous enough that I'm sure he cost people their lives. Just like red states in America had much higher death due to antivax nonsense from their politicians.

He's also said mad stuff like people in Africa with dirty drinking water should try prayer to make the water clean. He said women tennis players should go on their hands and knees each day in thanks that they get paid the same as men.

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.

Novak's Covid record was not good and he got a fair old kicking for it but on the plus side he encouraged loads of folk to go gluten-free so it's swings and roundabouts.

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