2023 Australian Open R128: [13] Matteo Berrettini vs Andy Murray

[Larry Duff]

Chust sublime

 

[Kralingen]

Murray will win this

 

[Larry Duff]

Allez

 

[Omega_7000]

Berrettini has two good aspects to his game...serve and forehand. If he loses one of them he is screwed!....and this joker was a Wim finalist.

 

[MeatTornado]

I still don't see Matteo losing this, but it's always fun to watch the old chap make the NextGen sweat.

 

[Kralingen]

NO WAY

Is this 2013 again??? Seriously what is Murray pulling here. A sterling return game, and a ridiculous angled passing shot to break!!! Berrettini has no answers right now. Unbelievable tennis from the metal hip man

 

[Carax]

What a shot to get the break.

 

[ForehandCross]

Gooooo Andy Andy Murray........
Goo Andy Andy Murray.....

From Volley highway.

Only for Ogs

Mats has a great record against other Top 10 players. He really only loses to GOATs (when fully healthy and conditioned) so he is vulnerable against Murray.

Let's go Muzzard. This would be a nice counter to watching Musetti go down in the first.

 

[DSH]

MuryGoat!

 

[Midaso240]

Dayum, Murray is GOATing out there. Berrettini no answers!

 

[ForehandCross]

 

[ForehandCross]

Mugray loading

 

[Znak]

Liking this '23 Murray, hope he keeps it going!

 

[Kralingen]

There’s the expected level drop.

thjs is the game Berrettini breaks in. Script kicking in now. Murray will have to dig deep here

 

[DSH]

Il rovescio di Berrettini è indegno di un top player.

 

[ForehandCross]

Players of this generation literally have no idea how to deal with a good slice don't they?

 

[ForehandCross]

CMON ANDEHHHHHH

 

[ForehandCross]

Andy needs to be extremely careful here on. Botterini has woken up.

 

[ForehandCross]

where is @Mainad ???

 

[Nostradamus]

i called this upset, murray win. again proving me a genius

 

[ForehandCross]

MUGRAY.

 

[stringertom]

where is @Mainad ???

It’s 4:30am. He’s getting his beauty sleep.

 

[DSH]

Berrettini is Finnish!

 

[MeatTornado]

Vamos, Bamos, etc.

 

[JJGUY]

How embarrassing

 

[DSH]

Vamos, Bamos, etc.

Let's go!

 

[time_fly]

Berrettini going to the locker room to watch a quick YouTube on how to beat pushers …

 

[ForehandCross]

ANDEH ANDEH MURRAYYYYYYYYY

 

[DSH]

Speaking of chair umpires, what is the minimum and maximum age that they can be in that position?

 

[Jonesy]

Murray is playing above his level tonight, probably in the zone or something.

 

[ForehandCross]

I know this is just one match, and Mugray might lose today or in RD2 , but this is some genuine good tennis from Andeh. If someone told me this is early 2010s Murray I wouldn't call him crazy

I read plenty of things about how good he was, and how he probably wins seven or eight slams in the 2004 to 2007 era. Lol

Murray is playing above his level tonight, probably in the zone or something.

No he’s not—even with a bionic hip and being 1 million years old, Sir Andrew Murray, OBE is a better player than this Mateo character. Murray will probably run out of energy but these two are in different worlds talent wise. If anything, Berrettini is playing above his head by serving 76% first serves in and still getting knocked off the court.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

GO Murray!

 

[ForehandCross]

Murray won't be denied today CMOON

 

[ForehandCross]

Where's Kim though been some time I saw her in Murray's camp

 

[MeatTornado]

How many overheads was that in one game? 3? 4?

 

[Kralingen]

Murray’s usual mentality has been replaced by 2012 Olympic Murray mentality

 

[flyingboris]

The Netflix gang is really not doing great at this AO!

Edit: off the top of my head: Ajla out, Paula out, Kyrgios out, Matteo seemingly on his way out.

 

[Tennfan123]

Berrettini is worse than we thought he was

 

[JeMar]

Berrettini is worse than we thought he was

Berrettini is just doing Berrettini things.

 

[socallefty]

Just started watching. Anyone care to comment on what Murray did to be up two sets? I thought it is a hot day and was thinking that it would be tough to break Berrettini’s big serves.

 

[MeatTornado]

Berrettini is worse than we thought he was

I've been saying for a while he's not as washed as ppl have been saying. He was on the brink of being seeded for this AO and finally getting some decent draws. I think if he can just get going, he can go back to making Slam QFs and maybe beyond. Beating Novak or Rafa in a SF/F is a tough ask but he can surprise almost anyone else

The Netflix gang is really not doing great at this AO!

Edit: off the top of my head: Ajla out, Paula out, Kyrgios out, Matteo seemingly on his way out.

Obviously they got distracted, there's no way being filmed doesn't have an effect

Berrettini is worse than we thought he was

He's on the comeback from injury. Let's not be too hasty

 

[flyingboris]

Commentator said “good approach by Murray”, but he was pretty slow out of the blocks on that one, and he paid for it. Break point. …. aaaand Break!

 

[MeatTornado]

The ol' miss your BP chances and then immediately get broken yourself the next game

 

[flyingboris]

Obviously they got distracted, there's no way being filmed doesn't have an effect

For the first three it was all injuries before the AO even started, let’s see if Matteo can shake off the cobwebs.

 

[Jonesy]

Ridiculous Hitler moustache from Lahyani.

 

[Aabye5]

....

When is Berrettini not on the comeback from injury?

 

[Kralingen]

Gut check time. It was never gonna be easy Muzz
