(And I've just read all the commentary, start to finish - mega thanks Jaggy - I love the 'from the heart' commentaries where someone's really feeling the match)
Would be churlish to say 'such a shame he couldn't get it done in three, expect he'll barely be able to move tomorrow' but....
But just mega kudos to Andy Murray.....breath-taking....
Just brilliant, but my favourite bit was the shot of Dan watching, so animated,on some inflatable chair thing somewhere, and after his own protracted match, lovely.

Watched most of the final set. Never thought he was going to come through that. Even right at the end, when he missed that drive volley at 8-5 in the MTB, I was still convinced Berrettini was going to come back and snatch it.
That was stunning - and Andy looked fit, he really did, after nearly 5 hours (lets keep these 5 hour matches coming, they are the old 4 hours matches!).
Brilliant performance and whatever happens, he deserves a PoM nomination.
2 out of 2 wins today - he does he play next then?
