Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 4-4 Kokkinakis*
Murray puts up a decent challenge in the early stages of Kokkinakis' service game, but the Australian's serve has been a solid weapon today and he turns to it again.
A couple of aces put him 40-15 up.

A game that lasted less than three days - forgot what they were like.
Murray holds to love. Now time to attack Kokkinakis' serve.

Iain: Started listening to the breakfast show at 7am on my bus to the office. Now boarded my bus home, with my phone never being off all day.
Correct behaviour Iain.

Pat Cash
Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraIt's anyone's guess here. That is an amazing save of serve from Kokkinakis from 0-40.
The standard of tennis is still outrageously good.

These two have been out there for five hours and 17 minutes. It is now 3.38am in Melbourne.
Some effort.

That was so close.
Murray almost hits a backhand winner down the line, but it lands out and Kokkinakis gets his hold to keep it on serve.

Not so huge.
Kokkinakis' serve gets him out of a bind again.

An ace down the middle gies Kokkinakis game point again but AGAIN Murray drags him back to deuce.
I'm starting to doubt whether this will ever end.

Kokkinakis celebrates as if he has won the match as Murray's backhand lands wide to give the Australian advantage.
But.. then his own backhand goes into the net and we're back at deuce.

Wow.
Kokkinakis upped his level when it was needed. How has he come back from 0-40 down?!
The Australian whips a forehand winner cross-court and it lands perfectly on the line for deuce.
