Andy Murray produced yet another Herculean effort at the Australian Open, coming back from two sets and a break down against home favorite Thanasi ...

Murray now holds the record for most comebacks from two sets down of all active players with 11 – and this one might have been his greatest yet. With Kokkinakis two sets up and leading 2-0 in the third set, Murray improbably chased down five successive shots that all should have been winners, before eventually forcing his opponent into a mistake to break serve. That’s why I kept going.” “I have experience of it and I rely on that experience and that drive and that fight, and my love of the game and competing, and my respect for this event and the competition. “I mean, I don’t know … in Melbourne.

American Jenson Brooksby Beats Casper Ruud at Australian Open (The New York Times)

Murray's stirring five-set comeback against Thanasi Kokkinakis of Australia ended a day that also saw the men's singles favorite Novak Djokovic win while ...

men’s singles title for the University of Florida, where his father is the coach, and is making his first trip outside the U.S. It was the standout victory of Brooksby’s career, and it was a bad day all around for No. The surprise is that the American men’s surge in Melbourne does not include their leader: the No. Then, after losing his serve, he broke Ruud again at love to reclaim full command of the match. Open finals last year, could not solve the riddle of Brooksby’s unconventional game. I hope for the positive outcome. He has dominated on clay for close to two decades and could aim for a 15th singles title at the French Open. I hope for the best. Late in the second set, Djokovic, with his left hamstring tightly wrapped, began wincing and landing awkwardly on some shots, looking far from eager to slide into his signature defensive splits. He recorded the most significant victory of his career by upsetting the No. 1 seed and the reigning champion, on the same court. But the quality and tenacity of play was often extraordinary down the stretch despite all that time on the court.

[Australian Open](https://www.tennis365.com/category/australian-open/) “That’s why I kept going.” It’s obviously amazing to win the match but I also want to go to bed now.
