    Watching Fed, Rafa and Djokovic coaching Andy Murray tonight was almost unbelievable to see. It feels like a pivotal moment in sport never mind tennis knowing Fed will be done after the next match.

    We are very lucky to of seen those 4 players battle it out for years.

    Being able to see the likes of Federer, LeBron, Messi, Ronaldo, Brady, Serena, Tiger, Phelps, Bolt… among others across all sports, we’ve been very lucky in the last couple of decades.

    Aye it was emotional viewing last night. Rafa and Roger crying together nearly set me off too.

    Seeing how well Andy played back then just hammers home how unlucky he's been to have had such a major injury during his peak. Handing out a bagel to Nadal in the final set to win a tournament, unreal stuff.

    I’ve never really got the hate for Djokovic but this does look very suspicious.

    Australian Open started today. Nadal with a 4 set win over Jack Draper. Nadal’s first win of the season. Draper played well and could’ve had chances to win, but he started cramping after set 2.

    Did grey haired guy clock that their was filming going on and then asked the other guy to move because of it. I don't know if Djokovic dopes but I wouldn't exactly be shocked either if a big doping scandal ever came out about him

    Andy Murray 2 sets up here. Currently broken in the third but still playing well. Great chance for a big victory.

    Great match. Just watched the last set.
    Excellent win for Murray, big chance missed for Berretini at match point.

    Aye, but Murray was due a bit of luck considering everything he’s been through. Hope his body recovers well enough for the next round now.

    Delighted to see him playing like that again. Thought Berrettini would beat him quite comfortably to be honest.
    Big ask to play again in a couple of days after that effort but at least he showed he’s still got the quality to beat a top player in a slam.

    I thought the same. Murray in his peak years would've taken Berrettini apart too. He said his goal before he retires is to try and reach 50 tournament wins. He's on 46 at the moment so it's not too far away, and he reached two finals last season. Either way, he's had an amazing career. One of our country's greatest ever athletes. 3 slams, two Olympics singles golds, a silver in Olympic doubles, 14 masters titles (more than Sampras), and loads of other titles, along with being World Number 1. He did that in an era where the three best players ever were competing right beside him. Absolute hero.

    Hard to see anyone stopping Swiatek on the women's side, for this tournament. She's a machine.

    Andy Murray is such a warrior. 35, a metal hip, and still battling away at 2am in a slam.

    He won. Haven’t really been arsed with tennis since Murray fell out of contention. Good to see him get some success, always liked the guy.

    Andy Murray is a * legend. Looked absolutely broken by the end of that game, his mentality is unreal.
