Melbourne [Australia]: Andy Murray pushed his body to its limits to defeat Thanasi Kokkinakis and Matteo Berrettini in five-set marathons during the course of his first two matches at the Australian Open but could not replicate the performance as he suffered a defeat against Roberto Bautista Agut to crash out of the Australian Open on Saturday.
The Spaniard defeated the five-time Australian Open finalist, Murray 6-1, 6-7(7), 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the fourth round on Saturday.
Murray lost what he thought would be his final match in 2019, and the two faced off at Margaret Court Arena in a heartbreaking contest. Four years later, in the same venue, Bautista Agut won after three hours and 29 minutes of thrilling action.
