Former British number one on BBC TVThe quality and intensity of this fourth set has been the best.
Cutting out the unforced errors and Carlos Alcaraz raising that intensity.

Re Anon 16:11 - Murray cannot have been THE icon of British sport in the era of Sir Lewis Hamilton (for one). Definitely deserves a statue though...
Erandin, Liverpool
But it's Murray who has inspired the current crop of UK youngsters, so I vote for a statue!

A ripper of a forehand winner from Carlos Alcaraz, much more like him. He holds to 15 and for a second time Frances Tiafoe will serve to stay in the fourth set.

Alcaraz starts with a double fault - eeek. But then gets back level with a serve that just about clips the line.

Former British number one on BBC TVFrances Tiafoe really is working the crowd.
The pressure is swinging from side to side.
Now Tiafoe has got it back level, he wants to put pressure on the Carlos Alcaraz serve.

What about a statue to commemorate the British fans? Whether it was Virginia Wade, Sue Barker, John Lloyd, Tim Henman or Andy Murray or anyone else plying their trade on the tennis circuit, our tennis stars have put us through emotional hell for decades. I think we need recognition for the loss of chewed fingernails and ripped out hair!

Carlos Alcaraz misses out on an easy second serve, backhanding long to go down 40-15.
And then Tiafoe gets over the line with a fantastic drop shot that has some of the crowd on their feet. The pressure swings again.

Former British number one on BBC TVFrances Tiafoe didn't do anything wrong but Carlos Alcaraz sensed the opportunity.
Alcaraz is playing tennis on his terms and looking to be aggressive. You feel the pressure is coming back on Tiafoe.

"VAMOS!" screams Alcaraz.
Crucial, crucial hold from 0-30 down, the world number three gets out of a difficult game with an unreturnable body serve backed up by a wide ace.
