Andy Murray has called for world tennis to end the 'farce' of late night matches after the Brit came from two sets down to beat Thanasi Kokkinakis, in a match that went into the early hours of Friday morning.
Despite trailing the Australian 5-3 in the third set of their second-round encounter in front of a passionate, partisan crowd, Murray once again showed that his steadfast unwillingness to give up is still his most lethal weapon.
The 35-year-old, who had battled for nearly five hours to upset Matteo Berrettini on Tuesday in his best result since 2017, forced a deciding set and finally prevailed 4-6 6-7 (4) 7-6 (5) 6-3 7-5. When the match finally came to an end, the local time was 4.05am.
