Loki Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Murray must have read Lex’s post. Currently two sets to love on Berretini, playing vintage tennis from yesteryear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Couldn’t keep that performance level up and we are into a fifth set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor7 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Match point down in the last set, he was toiling on his serve at points. But what a tie break, he was ruthless. Onto the second round 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Glad to see I didn't jinx him completely. Turned it on at 2-1 in the 3rd set only for Murray to fail to convert a break point for the first time and get broken in the next game. Hopefully Kokkinakis v Fognini goes 5 sets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR74 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR74 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Nadal out in straight sets to Mackenzie McDonald, but by all accounts was playing through injury. Raducanu v Gauff up next on Rod Laver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 In not great Andy Murray news, Kokkinakis has made light work of Fognini who is being accused of lack of effort. The match was suspended due to rain but the Aussie is leading by 2 sets and a break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor7 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Murray struggling to deal with the big forehand here. Had 2 chances to break in the Australians opening serve and failed. Since then it’s been one way traffic and the Australian is serving for the set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignoramus Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I know it’s only the first set, but you would have to hope Kokkinakis’ shot making goes off here otherwise he’s got too much power to hold off for three sets 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Ridiculous defending from Murray to get the break back. Kokkinakis rattled at the minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
