So close, on the plus side I reached out on Twitter and supposedly it can be watched live for free via the ‘Tennis one’ app.

Did a little hunt around and all looks legit enough so downloaded and ready for the final @ 8am tomorrow

Am really not a fan of Karatsev either, just think he's bland, cold and miserable on the court. Although I always disagree with people who label Murray with being as such so maybe I'm being harsh in disliking him before knowing what he's like off the court!

Thank you!

This is really not going according to the script.

Karatsev is playing some great points out there and crushing any hope that Murray is trying to build.

He's playing really well, but it's Andy Murray, so never say die.

He’s showing exactly why he’s been so successful over the years. His ability to mix it up and change his game plan / style mid match is incredible.

Karatsev just too good today.

Karatsev just too good today.

He impressed me, powerful ground strokes and very good movement. Never looked like he was swiping wildly and even when he missed it was only by fractions.

Murray can take heart from that 2nd set. Really dug in, mixed it up and clawed himself back into the match. Not quite enough to get the W but lesser competitors would have limply lost that 2nd set.

 

[Arnoldtoo]

He's out.

Deportation confirmed.

Im a fan of Djokovic on the court BUT he has always been strange off the court

I wouldn't go that far, but I'm definitely a fan of his tennis ability.

Yeah I meant ability and mental strength. His behaviour overall, whilst I think at times its blown out of proportion by the media and public, it is still strange.

Incredible finish for Murray, thought he was physically spent in those final few games but he somehow still managed to dig deep and have the tactical know how to put the #21 seed into awkward positions.

Take a bow son (and an ice bath cos you’re going to be sore tomorrow)

Absolutely typical Murray. Brilliant.
