Andy Murray celebrated an epic five-set win over Matteo Berrettini at the Australian Open. It's the first time he's beaten a top 20 player at a grand slam since his hip problems began in 2017 🎾
Bidding to beat a top 20 player at a grand slam for the first time since his hip problems began in 2017, Murray won the opening two sets before Berrettini fought back to level in a dramatic fourth-set tie-break.
A gruelling first point won by the Scot set the tone and Murray, who moved superbly, was able to celebrate a stunning 6-3 6-3 4-6 6-7 7-6 victory after four hours and 49 minutes. Asked how he felt after securing the biggest win in the four years that have passed since he was almost forced into retirement, Murray said: ‘I’ll be feeling this this evening and tomorrow and now I’m just unbelievably happy and proud of myself.
