It was just after three in the morning before Andy Murray got to celebrate.
His meeting with Thanasi Kokkinakis was a shocker.
Kokkinakis won the first and second sets (4-6, 6-7), but the Brit then managed to turn around with three straight sets (7-6, 6-3, 7-5).
- Crazy impressed.
One of the most incomparable matches I have seen in my life.
This match should be watched by every junior in the whole world who plays tennis.
By that I don't mean the beats but just attitude, passion and everything that has to do with never giving up.
It's just stand up and applaud, says Eurosport expert Fredrik "Fidde" Rosengren.
"It's incomprehensible"
The match lasted five hours and 45 minutes, which is the longest of Murray's career.
It is also the second longest in Australian Open history.
Only the 2012 final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal has lasted longer.
- It is incomprehensible how I turned around and came back.
I don't know how I came back, but I started playing better... and I have a big heart.
Now I've won the most matches from being 2-0 down in a set, so I've done it before.
I trust that routine and my passion for the sport and competing, so that's why I continued, he says and also sends a greeting to the audience on site:
- Thank you all for staying.
It's crazy late.
