Andy Murray wins Australian Open match at 4am

A healthy and boisterous crowd stayed inside Margaret Court Arena until the end, showing their appreciation for the efforts of both men and providing much-needed vocal support. Two days later, the Scot did it again with a comeback that ranks as simply extraordinary, even by his standards. The five-time Australian Open finalist started slowly and struggled to find rhythm, with his regular chuntering to his support box an early indication he was not happy.
Deep into the decider it was still impossible to confidently predict who would emerge as the victor, but Murray decisively broke at 5-5 and served out for an extraordinary win. If he manages to recover sufficiently to beat Spanish 24th seed Roberto Bautista Agut - coincidentally the man he played in what he thought might have been his final Grand Slam match before the hip operation four years ago - he will reach the fourth round of a major for the first time since 2017.
