Tiebreak time.

 

[Terenigma]

Murray with the bagel. Delightful!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

OH WOW THAT WAS IN! 1-0 Tomic.
1-1 ace by VEB
2-1 VEB.
2-2 thank goodness. You've got this Tomic.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

YES THANK GOD TOMIC HOLDS 3-2.
UG so good by VEB 4-3.

 

[helennnnnn]

Rublev is in a One Direction cover band

 

[NatF]

He lost the point but Murray's running cross court forehand is really good - a bit predictable though.

One of my favorite shots on the tour!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Double set point Tomic!!!

 

[NatF]

Blink and you miss it service game from Murray

 

[Aussie Darcy]

TOMIC TAKES IT IN A GREAT RALLY! 2 sets to love.

 

[idioteque]

You can never tell what's serious and what's not with Andy...

 

[JRAJ1988]

Murray seemingly hurt himself and asked for the physio, might have made a mountain out of a...

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Uh oh. Murray just rolled his ankle I think? Kim looks very worried. Murray was down for about 20 seconds.

 

[NatF]

Rublev giving Murray free points when he should be testing the ankle. Tsk Tsk.

 

[stringertom]

Brilliant slicing and dicing on SP by Bernie Popeil.

#Veg-o-matic

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Not good news. hmmm

 

[Racqueteer]

That rally from Tomic and VEB to end the set was great!

Murray asked for the physio but then kept playing so maybe it's just a precautionary measure.

 

[NatF]

Not good news, what's Murray saying

 

[Terenigma]

Murray just said to his team "its not good" and they look concerned. Seems to be moving ok for now, we'll have to see when he sees the physio (which i think he's called)

 

[stringertom]

Uh oh. Murray just rolled his ankle I think? Kim looks very worried. Murray was down for about 20 seconds.

How can you roll an ankle while wearing those shackles???

#UnderArmourSucks

 

[JRAJ1988]

Murray keeps saying "not good". If he's injured he'll feel it tomorrow.

 

[NatF]

In by the slimmest of margins.

 

[NatF]

MUGlev.

 

[Emperor of Belgrade]

Kyrgios you MUG, how did you lose the match?!

 

[Terenigma]

Here comes the MTO for Murray and ofcoure there is an advert break so we'll not know whats going on. Hopefully its something he can play off, somtimes rolling your ankle can be played off. He did it at the french open one year but he was verbally saying "its not good" to his team.

 

[Racqueteer]

Ha ha. Channel 7 in Australia is advertising a shampoo brand called Goat

 

[Terenigma]

Oh ok, no MTO just a consult. never mind.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Super keen for Kyrgios' press conference

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Everything ok with Andy? Hope it's nothing serious...

 

[Terenigma]

What a point from Murray!!

 

[Terenigma]

Yeah you dont move like that with a sprained ankle lol i'm pretty sure he's fine. He just ran down a huge FH and dropshot

 

[ForumMember]

Federer to Kyrgios, " I know few thinngs around Tennis Kid. I have played it at high level for almost two decades now".

 

[JRAJ1988]

If Murray was finito he wouldn't have pulled that point off.

 

[RS92]

Hopefully he doesn't have anything serious.. f*ck

 

[Terenigma]

Double break for Murray 4-1.

 

[JRAJ1988]

Murray won't have it as easy against Querrey.

We on here know what Querrey did in a 3rd round of a slam.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Kyrgios talking:

Pretty fun match, Seppi is a great guy.

Didn't have the best preparation, but yeah getting booed off was definitely not the best feeling.

My body was sore, I was hurting (after being asked by reporter what his thoughts were on McEnroe saying he was tanking).

 

[Red Rick]

My 4 to 7 game for Young Money prediction is looking sweet right now

 

[Kalin]

How can you roll an ankle while wearing those shackles???

#UnderArmourSucks

It looked more like he overextended something on top of his foot

 

[mike danny]

So Kyrgios is nearly 22 and he still loses to the likes of Seppi in slams and from 2 sets up to make matters worse.

Is this kid ever going to amount to something?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Kyrgios:

"Poor management and poor preparation in the off season" goes on to say "it's on me, guess i'm not in good shape, not play as much basketball in off season, take tennis seriously in off season next time". Kyrgios.

Playing basketball is fun, hurt my knee. Don't think i'll play doubles with Dan Evans tomorrow. Evans won earlier so he has a good chance to go far.

 

[ArcspacE]

what's Murray saying

Who ate me haggis

 

[Dilexson]

Avoided a bread-stick.
quite an achievement

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Kyrgios talking:

Pretty fun match, Seppi is a great guy.

Didn't have the best preparation, but yeah getting booed off was definitely not the best feeling.

My body was sore, I was hurting (after being told McEnroe said he was tanking).

When asked if it's just the knee that hurts Kyrgios said "ask Johnny McEnroe, he seems to know everything. OH.

 

[Terenigma]

Someone in the crowd yelling out and not the linesman.

 

[reaper]

When asked if it's just the knee that hurts Kyrgios said "ask Johnny McEnroe, he seems to know everything. OH.

He thinks he should take tennis seriously and train instead of playing basketball. The man is a genius.

 

[Terenigma]

Good sportsmanship from Murray there, offering to replay the point after Murray won the point and a member of the crowd shouted out

 

[helennnnnn]

Andy Murray decided to replay the point.

Didn't realise he was in charge now!

 

[ForumMember]

When asked if it's just the knee that hurts Kyrgios said "ask Johnny McEnroe, he seems to know everything. OH.

now thats an intelligent one from this kid. He seems to be growing

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Far too soon to think about Davis Cup, I hope I can play but we will see. --Kyrgios
