Really sucks for anyone to draw Murray in the first couple of rounds. He still can play elite tennis, his body just won't allow him to do it for 2 weeks.

Yeah can’t stand the guy but his return game is the great neutralizer against these big servers.

Fritz just aced an entire service game in 52 seconds.

And then he follows it up with a 42 second service game.

He is a perfect 16/16 on his serve in the 4th set. If his backhand was anything decent, he'd have a real shot at a slam.

Had to Google after you said that. Would imagine 29 seconds is the record.

Glad that Fritz was able to get the W.

I’m tempted to live bet Berretini but the odds are only +120 which I don’t love.

That’s usually a sign that it’s the right play lol

ETA: Crazy how he can’t break Murray

Super tiebreaker time on Laver. Honestly I would favor Murray. Berrettini's backhand is shaky and he choked huge on match point earlier.

Berrettini has made at least the quarters in like his last 5 slams.

A little Murray choke now, but he's still up 8-6.

What a match. That dude is such a fighter. Easily could have retired a couple years ago and is just fighting his arse off. So impressive.

This was the Berrettini choke on match point.

Varillas +7.5 was a great shout.

Berrettini had multiple chances to complete the comeback. Murray will be hurting next round.

It’s supposed to rain in Melbourne for a while now.

The tournament will probably be a train wreck for the next few days since they stopped matches for heat and now have to play and finish a bunch from rain. At least they have three courts with a roof.

Mmoh was close to finishing off an 0-2 comeback. Hope this dosent ruin his momentum

Especially since they usually start new matches first, before resuming interrupted matches.

And I wouldn't be surprised to see almost daily heat interruptions to make things worse.
