About last fight until tomorrow. Kokkinakis was furious, Murray couldn’t even go down

Unlike Wimbledon and Roland Garros, the Australian Open does not have a time limit on how long matches can be played, so tennis players are forced to fight until the late hours. But only rarely does the curious situation that Murray and Kokkinas were involved in happen.

They managed to close their second round duel at 22:20 Australian time, and since both played a fighting game, they caught up and into the decisive fifth set. Fifty-five games, two tiebreaks, and a tireless pool play lasted until four in the morning.

It’s lazy and absurd that he plays like that on the court until late at night, especially when he plays so long. How else could a sport have become like this? seven-time Grand Slam champion McEnroe stood.

Even at the late end, the fight was watched by a large number of spectators, who watched it intently as Murray won the match 4:6, 6:7 (4:7), 7:6 (7:5), 6:3 and 7: 5.

Thanks to all the fans, they worked hard, even when the game is late, the Brit said. You didn’t have to do it, but the atmosphere really helped both me and Thanasi.

For Murray, it was the second five-hundredth match of the tournament after defeating the Italian Matteo Berrettini in the first round. For the Briton, it was the longest recovery in his career, and it should also be noted that after the operation in 2019, he plays with a metal attitude.

Stetnut was accompanied by a number of bizarre situations, one of which occurred when the British tennis player tried to ask for a toilet before the last set. In vain. The rules of tennis clearly state that such a break can only be taken once per match, and Murray chose two for his time.

I respect the rules, but this is so absurd. The tournament has to be out by t or ty in the morning, and we can’t even bounce back, he stood in the direction of the umpire’s decision. It’s disrespectful to us, to me and to you.

McEnroe echoed Britain’s comment: If he wants to go to the toilet after such a long time at this hour, he should be allowed regardless of the rules.

I completely understand where Murray’s frustration comes from, the whole thing is funny, added Eurosport commentator Jo Durie.

They both immediately agreed that they should not reach the injured. We’re trying to make sure it doesn’t happen. In tennis, many factors play a role, such as the season or the length of the previous match, but there must be boundaries, McEnroe declared.

Rod se nov Kyrgios

Murray’s afro wasn’t the only left-hander who took advantage of the match. Kokkinakis showed emotion when he got into a fight with the umpire’s decision. The Australian tennis player was warned for violating the 25-second service limit when he was about to serve at the crucial moment, which triggered a heated exchange.

What’s taking so long, what’s the problem? Kokkinakis raged. You can’t call me from service, what the hell is this nonsense? he raged, and used to drive expressive killers.

A long time to prepare, he argued with the noise from the stands of the Arena Margaret Court, who was watching the spectacular duel.

Murray didn’t let the incident go unmentioned, and he stood up to the breeder for his inappropriate behavior: Why wasn’t he punished? Catch it when the rocket is thrown, but then you can inflate and kill the rest as if it was nothing.

Would Kokkinakis be under the influence of another Australian tennis player?

Thanasi Kokkinakis has won the Australian Open.

Probably yes. Together with Nick Kyrgios, he and Nick Kyrgios last on and off the court, together they won the singles title at the Australian Open last year. According to them, they are matched in tennis primarily because they have been inseparable friends since the age of nine.

Even though it was Kokkinakis who first cleaned up a vulgar colleague, he took over his role at the summer Grand Slam.

And so, and Kyrgios due to a large number of errors in Melbourne, Kokkinakis replaced him with many skills, including precise movement and attempts at decisions and tricks.

Even these attributes took an exceptional life, which both tennis players will surely remember for a long time.
