Andy Murray The Greatest and General Tennis Chat

Great win for Murray that, and the biggest upset of the first round. That's the first time he's beat a top 20 player at a major since 2017. Could he this be the tournament he gets that run to the second week? His opponent in the second round won't be seeded but they will be tricky. It will either be his long time nemesis Fognini, who he has a 50% win record against, or the Aussie Kokkinakis, last years AO doubles champion with the home crowd behind him.

If it goes to seeding and he wins that he will have Batista-Augut in the third round and then second seed Casper Ruud in the fourth round. It's doable, he won't face a player as good as Berrettini till Ruud.

Can't quite remember the last time I celebrated a Murray win as much as I did watching that this morning. Outstanding stuff. Huge scalp and more than deserves a win of that sort after all he's come through.

As Berrettini came back into the match, it almost felt like there were shades of the tie against Tsitsipas at the US Open a couple of years back (minus the antics) where the younger pro ultimately went on to see out the match. Murray really had to dig deep in those last couple of sets as Berrettini held his serve.

How many Murray classics have we been treated to over the years now?

Looking like a great night for Murray if he can pull out a win.  Ruud, Fritz and Schwarzman all out already, and Zverev and Bautista-Agut all losing.  If that stays the same every single seed in his quarter will be out.

Tough tough ask for Murray, but hopefully he can play as well as Tuesday and has recovered well.

Two sets down, and he’s not played badly.  Kokkanikis is playing extremely well and has carried his form from pre tournament into here.

Murray needs to get inspiration from somewhere.
