Whether marvelling at the resilience of both players, praising Brit Andy Murray for playing at an elite level with a surgically repaired hip, or bemoaning the ridiculously late finish, the Australian Open's latest marathon night match gave fans plenty of time to think and opine.
A five-time finalist at Melbourne Park, Murray is no stranger to long nights on the blue hard court, but his 4-6, 6-7 (4/7), 7-6 (7/5), 6-3, 7-5 win over Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis took things to another level.
