Australian Open 2023 LIVE: Andy Murray vs Thansai Kokkinakis

Murray* 4-6 6-7 1-2 Kokkinakis

MURRAY BREAKS AND THERE IS SO MUCH DRAMA HERE!

Kokkinakis goes into the tramlines in the first two points of the game to go down 0-30...

Will Murray break straight back again like he did in the second set?

Wow! Sir Andy take a bow - unreal defence from the three-time Grand Slam champion before his opponents runs around a forehand but finds the net.

The first signs of Kokkinakis under pressure as he complains about noise from the crowd to the umpire.

But that won't change the scoreline and he's 0-40 down...

Kokkinakis somehow finds the line with an epic forehand then Murray nets on the second - cue more angry shouting.

Oh I say, my word that is impressive - Kokkinakis comes in late and nails a drop volley to get it back to deuce and he celebrates with the finger wag.

Ace. "LET'S GO," screams the Adelaide star. Advantage Kokkinakis.

Ooh Murray with an inch-perfect half-volley to get it back to deuce as the crowd continue to cause problems at nearly 1am.

Kokkinakis picks out a drive volley but then has the court to aim for and sends an easy* forehand long (*easy when sat watching, not after two-and-a-half hours against Andy Murray).

THEN THERE IS DRAMA!

Kokkinakis pauses his preparation because someone calls out just before he serves - but then gets a time violation warning and furiously lets rip at the umpire.

He has a point but cannot behave like that as he swears repeatedly at her and at the crowd - "what is this s***?".

His mood worsens when Murray clips the line on a return...

OH MY WORD ANDREW MURRAY THAT IS TOTALLY INSANE.

MURRAY BREAKS BACK WITH THE MOST ABSURD POINT I HAVE EVER SEEN WITH UNREAL DEFENCE BEFORE KOKKINAKIS EVENTUALLY NETS.

Kokkinakis is SO ANGRY and obliterates his racket into the ground.

MURRAY GIVES IT LARGE, CUPPING HIS EARS TO THE CROWD AND FIST PUMPING.

YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO SEE IT!
