Andy Murray came through the longest match of his career to reach the third round of the 2023 Australian Open.
Murray's win came after he defeated 2021 Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini in a gruelling opening match in Melbourne. He saw a two-set lead evaporate and saved a match point in the decider before coming through in five sets against the 13th seed.
What a moment. What a celebration.

The former world No.1 saw his challenge in 2023 ended in the third round, though, as he lost a four-set battle to fellow experienced campaigner Roberto Bautista Agut.
👏👏👏 @andy_murray.
