Andy Murray’s near six-hour battle against home hope Thanasi Kokkinakis at the Australian Open finished at 4.05am. The 35-year-old, metal hip and nerves of granite, rallied from two sets and 2-5 down in the third for a 4-6, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5), 6-3, 7-5 win in five hours and 45 minutes. Lest anyone go there, fairytales don’t have scorelines.
