Andy Murray’s superhuman powers appear to know no end.
Not only is Scotland’s king of the court turning back the clock to produce the type of epic fightbacks that put the grand into Grand Slam at the age of 35 - he’s now managed to unite the Hotline. Incredible. His five-set thriller to oust darkhorse Matteo Berrettini in the first round of the Australian Open was followed up Thursday’s 4am crushing of Thanasi Kokkinakis to set up a third round meeting with Roberto Bautista Agut today,
Robert Livingstone called from Palm Beach, Florida, to say: “For the second time in days against massive odds a superb never say die Andy Murray triumphed in a near six-hour dual of total attrition, unbelievable. It was edge of the seat stuff, just brilliant. At 35 Murray rolled back the year, but behind that racket was a fighter with guts and courage who refused to give up. Tears from his mum said it all. Andy Murray is a proven all time great.”
