Then when you got to know him, he is actually a ripper bloke and a good guy.” While Murray was fighting his way past Berrettini under the roof on Rod Laver Arena in a clash lasting nearly five hours, Kokkinakis was being frustrated by the vagaries of Melbourne weather. I’m going to be ready for the best version of Murray.” Kokkinakis would surely be ranked higher but for injuries that have blighted his career, with his right shoulder the main source of trouble. “At times I wish I had metal body parts, they might have held up a little bit better,” he said ruefully in reaction to Murray’s continued exploits.
