Australian Open 2023: Murray marathon ends after third-round loss to Bautista Agut

Andy Murray’s brave Australian Open run ground to a halt against Roberto Bautista Agut, the Spaniard fending off the fatigued former world number one 6-1, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 in the third round to advance on Saturday. “That was affecting my serve and that was really the main thing today.” With the crowd firmly in his corner, Murray broke Bautista Agut in the first game of the fourth set to raise hopes of levelling the match but he ended up squandering a 2-0 lead before dropping serve in the ninth game. METAL HIP Bautista Agut knocked Murray out in the opening round of the tournament four years ago, after the tearful Scot said his hip was shot and his career might be over. “I’m disappointed because I feel like I could have gone quite a bit further.” At 35 and despite all the aches and pains, Murray’s court movement was impressive.
