Andy Murray grinds down #Kokkinakis in late -night #epic
This f**king sport man: #Kokkinakis on nearly 6-hour #Aus Open loss to Murray
The fact that Murray has a metal hip and is 10 years older than #Kokkinakis makes his win in Australia - the longest contest of his career - even more #mesmerising.
Jamie Murray had to watch his younger brother's frustration boil over on court as Andy asked why he and #Kokkinakis were "still playing at 3am" after the Scot lost a #point
Murray was two sets down and looked to be heading out of the competition before digging deep to defeat 25-year-old #Kokkinakis, #who is ranked 159th in the world, 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 7-5.
"We come here after the match and that's what the #discussion is, rather than it being like, 'epic Murray-#Kokkinakis match'. It ends in a bit of a farce.
The 35-year-old's arduous five-set win over home #favourite Thanasi #Kokkinakis took over five hours 45 minutes.
