Victorian Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 What makes the comeback even better is that the other guy didn't collapse when brought back to 2-2. He still gave Murray a lot to do. Murray keeping his never-say-die level up when the guy had recovered himself is quite impressive. Good luck trying to nash around in the next match Muzza.

I think Murray will beat him I'd be surprised if Murray recovers well enough for the next match. He's been on court for 5 hours 47 minutes longer than RBA and he finished at 4 in the morning. He would then have to see his physio and do ice baths and get something to eat before going to bed. I'm not sure when RBA finished but he was probably asleep while Murray was still playing.

Homme Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Just catching up now. Ostapenko steamrolled her opponent which i didn't see coming - she is so hot and cold at the min.

Medvedev's gone off the boil a little and Korda's game has been coming together having shown a lot of promise throughout last year. Pumpded Norrie oot of this tourney last year in round 1. I'm surprised that it looks like it's heading to a straight sets defeat for Medvedev but suspect that Korda's one we'll see a fair amount of over the coming seasons.
