Andy Murray kept his Australian Open hopes alive in amazing fashion by winning one of the points of the tournament against Thanasi Kokkinakis.
Down two sets, and trailing 2-0 in the third, Murray fashioned a break point and then showed off all his legendary resilience to convert it. In a 15-shot rally, the Scot somehow survived numerous smash attempts from his opponent before Kokkinakis netted, duly smashing his racket on the court.
The game itself proved by far the most explosive of the late-night contest, with Kokkinakis losing his focus at deuce and unleashing a foul mouthed rant at the umpire after being given a time violation. But after the Scot gave himself a chance of a break he could not afford to miss, the drama ramped up further.
