Andy Murray dominated plenty of headlines for his heroic displays at the Australian Open, and after his exit from the third round on Saturday, he took to social media to express how proud he was.
The tennis legend has spent ample time with medical professionals over the last several years dealing with numerous injuries, including having metal inserted into his hip. Murray has shown just how resilient he is and perhaps there has been no greater example of that than his scintillating comeback over Thanasi Kokkinakis to progress to the third round of the Australian Open.
But the 35-year-old was unable to produce more heroics as Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut defeated him in four sets to end his latest campaign Down Under. After playing for more than 14 hours over the course of just three matches at Melbourne Park this week, Murray dismissed any doubters or naysayers who did not believe he would perform at this level again, including a significant one.
