ANDY MURRAY

As Murray moved in the wrong direction, leaving the court wide open, Berrettini dumped the ball halfway down the net. “He had a pretty bad shot on the match point,” Murray said. Gabriela Sabatini blew a 6-1, 5-1 lead against Mary Joe Fernandez at the French Open in the same year. They’re choking,’" Pegula said. “I had a match point.

The term “choke” is often used when describing a tennis player who misses what looks like an easy shot or loses a match at the Australian Open and other tournaments.

But once again, Bautista Agut proved to be too tough for Murray in advancing to the fourth round. "There was a lot of love for Andy," Bautista Agut joked as the crowd cheered. Djokovic, who next faces Alex de Minaur, advanced to fourth round of the Australian Open for the 15th time in his career. Fourth-seeded Caroline Garcia advanced to the fourth round here for the first time since 2018 with a 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Laura Siegemund. Belinda Bencic advanced to the fourth round for the first time in seven years with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over Camila Giorgi.

Ah, the perils of playing all night, something that occurs occasionally in tennis, more than in other professional sports. I don’t think it’s amazing for the fans. I don’t think it’s very good. For the body, also: I don’t think it’s healthy to play at 1 a.m,” Vondrousova said. I saw him today before my match," said Stefanos Tsitsipas, the 2021 French Open runner-up who won his third-round match Friday afternoon.

Andy Murray was pleased with the result but not happy about the circumstances after finishing an Australian Open victory after 4 a.m. His marathon raised anew the issue that tennis has shown it is that rare sport where folks sometimes need to play all night.

Murray won 196 points, Kokkinakis 192. Kokkinakis is a 26-year-old from Australia who is ranked 159th and has never been past the third round at a Grand Slam tournament. Kokkinakis could have closed out the proceedings far earlier, having taken the opening two sets and been up a break in the third. There were zero breaks of serve until Murray finally converted his eighth chance of that set with a forehand winner to lead 6-5. After meeting Kokkinakis at the net for an embrace, Murray screamed.

Andy Murray and Thanasi Kokkinakis have played deep into the night at the Australian Open until Murray emerged with a five-set victory that ended just after 4 a.m. They began playing on Thursday and finished on Friday at Margaret Court Arena before hundreds of enthusiastic spectators who remained.

MELBOURNE, Australia — (AP) — Metal hip, bloody knee and all, Andy Murray produced his biggest victory in years. After a second surgery inserted an artificial hip, Murray decided to try to continue playing. Murray is also a five-time runner-up at Melbourne Park, with four losses in the final to Novak Djokovic and one to Roger Federer. By beating the 13th-seeded Berrettini, who was the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2021, Murray became only the fifth man in the Open era with 50 match wins at the Australian Open, joining Djokovic, Federer, Rafael Nadal and Stefan Edberg. “Just a bit lucky at the end,” said Murray, who next will meet Thanasi Kokkinakis or Fabio Fognini.

MELBOURNE, Australia — (AP) — Metal hip, bloody knee and all, Andy Murray produced his biggest victory in years.

Andy Murray has beaten a top-20 opponent at a Grand Slam tournament for the first time since 2017.

LONDON — (AP) — Felix Auger-Aliassime added a singles victory over Novak Djokovic to an earlier win in doubles Sunday, allowing Team World to take a 10-8 lead over Team Europe with two matches remaining in the Laver Cup. “Getting that (doubles) win got me really confident going into the singles.”Victories were worth three points apiece Sunday; the first team to 13 wins. Team Europe came into the week at the O2 Arena having won all four previous editions of the Laver Cup, which was founded by Roger Federer's management company.

Murray, who owns three Grand Slam titles, was treated by a trainer after cutting his right leg during the loss. The three-day team competition founded by Roger Federer's management company was to wrap up with three remaining singles matches, including Auger-Aliassime, a 22-year-old from Canada, heading right back out on court to face 21-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic. Djokovic won matches in both singles and doubles on Saturday in his first action since winning Wimbledon in July. That helped give Team Europe an 8-4 lead heading into Sunday.

Roger Federer has ended his superlative professional tennis career at age 41 with a loss in doubles alongside longtime rival Rafael Nadal at the Laver Cup.

This team event founded by his management company marks the end of Federer's career, and his last match will come Friday night alongside longtime rival Nadal for Team Europe against the Team World doubles pairing of Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock. In February of this year, when word emerged that Federer would be in London this week, he said Nadal messaged him suggesting they play doubles together again. They teamed up to win a doubles match during the first Laver Cup in 2017. And on the other hand, something that probably we are very proud of is having a friendly rivalry,” Nadal said Thursday. Nadal came out on top in their classic 2008 Wimbledon final, considered by some the greatest match in history; Federer won their last showdown, in the 2019 semifinals at the All England Club.

Novak Djokovic is still awaiting word on whether he will be allowed to return to the Australian Open in January after missing the tournament this year because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19.
