Just when the hell did I become an Andy Murray fan? I don't know and I don't care. People often talk of Rafa's heart, but obviously it's time we talk about Sir Andy's. Huge. The look on his mom's face at the end was beautiful. ♥️🎾♥️
I only tuned in around the end of the third, but it did look like the conditions became very heavy and slow, and Murray started to get more returns in play and his ball stayed lower and he sliced more. Just helped him blunt the power of Kokkinakis more and get into those long annoying rallies that he is so good at. Murray is a master of putting the ball in positions that make opponents uncomfortable/out of their strike zone, and he's always been great at varying the pace and depth of his shots.

The match was unreal and vintage Muzza!
Do you have any thoughts on the tactics that Andy employed, and whether there was any notable changes between the 1st and 2nd halves of the match?

Unbelievable to witness Sir Andy have that resolve and grit so many times when needed in this classic AO Match! Bravo 👏🏻 🎾
