    Murray 6-1 3-6 6-4 5-5 Basilashvili*

    A clean winner from Basilashvili, sending the ball one way as Murray runs the other, and he has another game point.

    That's another miss down the line, though, and it's back to deuce.

    Murray 6-1 3-6 6-4 5-5 Basilashvili*

    Basilashvili follows up a double fault with a thunderous backhand that Murray can't get near.

    He gets himsslf to 40-15 but, out of nowhere, Basilashvili misses a couple of shots long and we find ourselves at deuce.

    Wallop! Ace out wide!

    Excellent, brave serving from Murray. On we go.

    There's even more noise from the crowd as Murray nails a first serve to give himself game point once again.

    The makeshift feel to the courtside stands on Cain lend themselves to making plenty of noise when fans stamp their feet.

    So that's what they did before Murray faced that set point. Sounded like a roll of thunder.

    Basilashvili's mood will darken if Murray keeps up this foraging.

    Murray is defending for his life. Stunning. How on earth has he come through that point?

    *Murray 6-1 3-6 6-4 4-5 Basilashvili

    Murray get himself in front for the first time after a punishing 23-shot rally, the Brit showing the best of his defensive skills before Basilashvili whacks his forehand long.

    So, so good. Advantage, Murray...

    Basilashvili misses a smattering of first serves but finds enough oomph on his second to hold for 15.

    Andy Murray will have to serve to stay in this fourth set.

    Basilashvili must be so frustrated with the last five minutes.

    He was in a really good position to be 5-2 up and lost his concentration, and now this is Andy Murray's match.

    Murray holds to level. The racquet wag, in the direction of new coach Jan de Witt and fitness guru Shane Annun, is back out.

    Not used to seeing Andy Murray calmly walk back to his chair after a momentum-changing break in his favour.

    He did then. Perhaps because he knows he still has work to do. Perhaps because he knows he needs every ounce of energy.

    Murray 6-1 3-6 6-4 2-4 Basilashvili*

    Murray hangs in the rallies to find his way to 30-30, and he has an immediate chance to break back as Basilashvili picks a bad time to double fault.

  20. 'Murray being hit off the court'published at 06:46 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January 2022

    Andy's first serve percentage is struggling a little bit. You don't want to be giving Basilashvili many looks at seconds.

    He's being hit off the court just now by Basilashvili.
