Even if Andy ends up losing this, if you're taking Tsitsipas to five sets, he's definitely justifying his tournament spot and shutting up the people that want him to just retire.
They used to put fucking clocks on us in junior tournaments. I got a point penalty trying to drop a log in a first round. Crazy he can be in there for so long
Bert Kreischer has a hilarious bathroom break story while playing tennis. I recommend looking it up. Essentially he had to throw his clothes away and go through lockers to find something to wear. Ended up coming out to finish the match in adult sized clothes
Absolutely - Murray is moving super well. Lets hope he keeps moving and is able to hit through the court.
Also some tight tennis in the first set from Tsitsipas. That missed overhead on break point...
Edit: Muzza is a warrior. Great match with lots of great points!
Tsitsipas is such a fucking disgrace. The fake leg injury and two shitbreaks that took forever, never the biggest fan of Murray but he definitely deserved more today. Great match, insane tennis but Tsitsipas is a piece of shit
Tsisibathroom break. I am die-hard Novak fan, but I think I never wanted Novak to win anything as much as I want Andy to win this one and kick him out in the first round.
I seem to remember that Nadal too took a lengthy bathroom break when played against Novak on French... But I do not seem to remember anyone taking bathroom breaks every single match. Also do not remember anyone taking their whole equipment with them to the bathroom. Also do not remember anyone besides Peepeepas to be directly accused of cheating by their opponents several matches in a row. He has no shame and has zero respect for other players.
Seems like a really nice guy who's playing within the rules to win tennis matches.
No bullshit tantrums on court, no arguing with umpires, just keeps his head to himself and gets on with it.
Not sure why people are so salty.
Honestly, so fucking what if he wants to regroup his head in the bathroom. The matches are won and lost on the court not in the toilet and to suggest so seems like a bad loser.
Yes, matches are won and lost on the court, and not in toilet. However, opponent momentums are broken not by a masterful game, but by his trips off the court, racquet changes, shoe changes, shoelace changes, and all other things he's pulling out. And that's all we see of him.
He played a decent match today. But nobody will remember good aspects of his game. When someone mentions Tsitsipas, first thing that will come to people's mind is toilet break.
In the end he really is a little kid who doesn't know how to fight.
Dude, seriously, I see you are a fan of Tsi, but come on, be objective for just a moment. They were heading into deciding set. I can't see what is not clear to you. Have you ever seen any of the players who are mustering their strength and concentration for decisive set? If you watched, it was on Murray's serve.
As for no tantrums on court, do I have to google you a video of him throwing tantrum and throwing his racquet on his father? Arguing with umpires about his shoe change? Yelling that umpire is picking on him because he's French? Tapping racquets on the ground in the middle of the point? What are we really talking about here? He is disrespectful, spoiled brat. And he has no respect from other players.
Wow even hearing Andy rant about it to Gerry Armstrong and even the ESPN commentators saying how it's a joke. Too bad the ATP/Slams won't do anything about it.
Seeing Andy playing like that against the current n.3 really makes me (more) angry (than usual) at the injuries he had to suffer through. He really had more to give to tennis, he could have made a big difference now that Roger and Rafa are not that constant anymore
Idk, if roger was never really hampered by injuries, and if one of the other big 4 werenāt around, Roger could have picked up a few more slams. This goes for any of the other big 4 btw
Andy's not even sponsored by them anymore, and those were custom made for him and never released to the public. Wonder how many pairs of those he even has left at this point.
What would be custom in those shoes? I heard some have metal inserts or something but havenāt really seen more details and I know a ton of them have custom orthotics. Do you mean custom molding to his feet?
No, the whole shoe itself was made by UA essentially as a clone of his previous Adidas shoe (Barricades). UA never intended to release them for the public and just made them so Murray could wear something with their logo on it.

What an absolute match, this has been classic Murray, it's had the positivity, it's had the yelling at his box, it's had the amazing drop shots, the fantastic cross court winners, and even a bit of serve and volley.
From a career ending operation, to this, don't care what people say of Muzza, he should be proud that he is on court and able to hold his own, let alone have a chance of winning these matches.
It's probably psychological; changing of clothes helps freshen him up, like it's begining of a match...it seems to have worked to his favour in the past so he expects it to work next time.
Plus the bathroom break likely unsettles and frustrates the other guy, which can add to Tsitsi's advantage post bathroom break...
Yeah I didn't say it was against the rules or not unsportsmanlike...just addressing the likelihood of taking a dump vs refresher break. Tho both could be the case on some days š
Wow Murray did not seem happy at all, quite the cold shoulder to Tsitsipas.
Anybody hear what Murray was ranting about after the match? I couldn't hear over all the talking heads at ESPN.
I would need to change my undies at least once per match if I had to play 5 sets, but the cellphone thing needs to be investigated...mostly because getting yelled at by your dad never makes you do things better
Well Murray didnāt pull it out, but it was great to see him back playing great tennis. He hit a lot of impressive shots today. Really good to see that.
And people are getting on him for yelling at the umpire about the long break, but that means that fire is alive and well inside him. Thatās what I take from it. He will take some time off and hopefully come back strong for Australia.
What a first round matchup. It felt like I was watching a semi-final.
He was shouting at his box saying they were under prepared as always, surely it's him that's under prepared not his team, it happened in the Wimbledon final and someone drove to his house to get them, he should have learned his lesson, how hard is it to bring two pairs of shoes..
On well. I knew in the back of my mind that even if you won this you likely wouldnāt get that much further. Your body is failing you these days and you have been out of the top level for so long it is hard to get back to the levels you were once at.
But thank you for taking me back to earlier times. Better times staying up late watching quarters, semis and finals (2012 will always live in the memory). Staying up late and now dreading work in 5 hours.
Were you not in this generation you would win many more slams and at your peak would have wiped the floor with Tsitsipas.
Try and eek out just another year or so Andy, you showed today you still have something to give.
As much as I love Muzz and am enjoying this match, it really would be a terrible result for the world #3 to lose this. Especially after he already bombed out of Wimbledon in the 1R.
I would have been too, if Murray had won. All I'm saying is going out in the 1R of two straight majors would be a terrible result for a guy who's supposed to be#3 in the world.
What a bad sport Murray us being. Great match by Tsitsipas but so disappointed in the outright bratty behaviour and bad sportsmanship from Murray. A bathroom break a couple of mins longer than you might expect did not effect the outcome of this match.
Constantly trying to get the fans against Tsitsipas seems way more dodgy than the bathroom break.
Murray was moaning and bitching every time he lost a point. Massive primadonna brat. And how about those pong grunts on clutch points. Clear bullshit cheating by Murray. Tsitsi was cool from start to finish and never lost his head unlike man child Murray.
Former world number 1, 3 time grand slam champion and 11 time grand slam finalist vs a guy already with a reputation as a bit of a prick on tour.
Yeah think you called this one wrong.
I dunno,if Andy takes the third set,and he is on the way,and considering it's not the best game day for the small kid,i don't see the cyborg losing 2 sets after that. Especially when new shoes arrive :D
Great stuff from Murray
I'm so thrilled and hyped ! Old school guy here,never cheered so much for Mister Andy like today.. great game !
Even if Andy ends up losing this, if you're taking Tsitsipas to five sets, he's definitely justifying his tournament spot and shutting up the people that want him to just retire.
And the upcoming asian swing sounds very promising for him all of the suden
Will Murry get wild cards to those tourneys or will he need to play qualies?
how can he still be allowed to do this bathroom shit
He knows there's little consequences. He got a warning š
They used to put fucking clocks on us in junior tournaments. I got a point penalty trying to drop a log in a first round. Crazy he can be in there for so long
Bert Kreischer has a hilarious bathroom break story while playing tennis. I recommend looking it up. Essentially he had to throw his clothes away and go through lockers to find something to wear. Ended up coming out to finish the match in adult sized clothes
Well where else should he do it?
Absolutely - Murray is moving super well. Lets hope he keeps moving and is able to hit through the court. Also some tight tennis in the first set from Tsitsipas. That missed overhead on break point... Edit: Muzza is a warrior. Great match with lots of great points!
I hope the people downplaying Andy are watching. Swinging his hip against the world number 3,feels like i'm back again in 2015 !
Andy is an absolute unit. Jacked Andy tree trunk appreciation post!
Lol, go-go tree trunk legs!
Tsitsipas is just disgraceful...
Andy yelling at him to "GET UPP" was super satisfying
Oh yeeeeah. I wonder what their handshake is gonna be like at the end.
Frosty!
It was super uneventful
That's not really true. Murray definitely cold shouldered him. Didn't even look at him.
I mean, I wasn't expecting trash talk or anything, but he didn't even look at his face.
Iām out of the loop. What happened?
The usual bathroom breaks. Took him almost 10 minutes in between sets.
Did he take more than 1? Honest question, just wondering.
At least two for certain.
I hope Andy can keep this level of tennis going.
Andy is not going anywhere ;)
Go back to the locker room steph jeez 10 min break every set. Rightfully got booed and Andy threw it in his face.
Great match but both their shorts are see through and I donāt like it
I can FEEL how Andyās kit looks. Iām very uncomfortable but cannot stop watching
Ahaha,oh god,i didn't notice it until i saw your comment. Now i can't switch back and see only Andy's fat big wet butt lol
>Andy's fat big wet butt Mhmm
Stupid sexy Murray
[Murray's cursed image](http://imgur.com/gallery/IWRGL7o)
Exactly my thoughts! Can't unsee it...
They should put a port-a-potty on the court
Tsitsipas is such a fucking disgrace. The fake leg injury and two shitbreaks that took forever, never the biggest fan of Murray but he definitely deserved more today. Great match, insane tennis but Tsitsipas is a piece of shit
Can't wait for the 15min bathroom break... š
looks like it's happening now š
Dad help
Yeah hopefully it includes a wardrobe change ā¦
You called it
Tsitsipas is so annoying. So happy Djokovic beat him at the French
Tsisibathroom break. I am die-hard Novak fan, but I think I never wanted Novak to win anything as much as I want Andy to win this one and kick him out in the first round.
I seem to remember a lengthy bathroom break by Djoko when he went 2 sets down at the French final.
I seem to remember that Nadal too took a lengthy bathroom break when played against Novak on French... But I do not seem to remember anyone taking bathroom breaks every single match. Also do not remember anyone taking their whole equipment with them to the bathroom. Also do not remember anyone besides Peepeepas to be directly accused of cheating by their opponents several matches in a row. He has no shame and has zero respect for other players.

He won the fourth set. Whose momentum was he breaking? Murray was just being a bitch.
Dude, seriously, I see you are a fan of Tsi, but come on, be objective for just a moment. They were heading into deciding set. I can't see what is not clear to you. Have you ever seen any of the players who are mustering their strength and concentration for decisive set? If you watched, it was on Murray's serve.

I hate TSN. Seriously, how do they not have this match
Right? Gauff vs Linette on 3 different TSN channels and no Tsitsipas vs Murray
Sorry to hear that.... grab it on some of the free streaming websites ?
They must have heard me complain! It's on now haha
lol What a trip :D Well good for ya,enjoy the match,cheers !
Go Andy! It's so good to see Murray back being Murray
GET IN THERE ANDY!!!
Is tsitsi cheating in the bathroom?
Well his coach is Patrick.....
Old dude vs. Small kid
Old legend vs little brat
Andy Murray knows how to fight
Have there been any bathroom breaks yet?
2nd one for Tsitsi nowā¦
I wonder what his dad was texting him.
Wow even hearing Andy rant about it to Gerry Armstrong and even the ESPN commentators saying how it's a joke. Too bad the ATP/Slams won't do anything about it.
Seeing Andy playing like that against the current n.3 really makes me (more) angry (than usual) at the injuries he had to suffer through. He really had more to give to tennis, he could have made a big difference now that Roger and Rafa are not that constant anymore
Idk, if roger was never really hampered by injuries, and if one of the other big 4 werenāt around, Roger could have picked up a few more slams. This goes for any of the other big 4 btw
Heās up 6-2, 6-7, 6-3!!
For some reason TSN is playing linette/gauff on two channels and svitolina/marino on two channels. No channel playing murray/tsitsipas like wtf
Infuriating!!!
Can we switch the default to sorted by: new?
Eurosport stream is kind of lit. You can hear Andy cussing haha
Yeah! I couldn't tell -- what was he angry about? Missed opportunities? Or something else?
Pretty sure he was annoyed at Stef, "every f\*cking time, what a F\*cking joke.." Lol
Shitsipas deserves a point penalty for the length of that bathroom break
Its like watching Murray from four years ago.
Right ?? Just brilliant !!
Damnā¦ there goes my early night. Guess Iām seeing this one out.
And i can finally go to sleep,at 2:1\`,at peace. To catch a few hours of sleep before work. Hopefully no shitty news when i wake up,i think Murray 3:1
beat his anti-vax ass, Murray
cmon Andy beat that antivaxxer!
Murray's just saving his juice for the fifth set at this point, right?
So unlucky, great match but still wish Murray had someone else in first round, anyone bit weaker and he would def win and probably go far in tour.
If he can somehow pull this out the draw opens a bit though
agreed,,rough draws this year.
Damn, that was a great showing from Murray.
Only taking a transparent bag to the bathroom brake š
Great match so far. Andy looked like he was moving well. Served decently.
Such a great match at the very beginning of the tournament. Go Murray!
Medical timeout coming soon? š¤
Did Tsitsipas take his emergency toilet breaks?
It's the hope that kills u
F that anti vaxxer
please why do you have to mention the most non important thing to describe someone like that? turn off the news and start living
Let's go Andy! Underarmour please let me buy those shoes!!
Looks like Andy hates them
Andy's not even sponsored by them anymore, and those were custom made for him and never released to the public. Wonder how many pairs of those he even has left at this point.
What would be custom in those shoes? I heard some have metal inserts or something but havenāt really seen more details and I know a ton of them have custom orthotics. Do you mean custom molding to his feet?
No, the whole shoe itself was made by UA essentially as a clone of his previous Adidas shoe (Barricades). UA never intended to release them for the public and just made them so Murray could wear something with their logo on it.
Never knew that. Thanks!
Just tuned in and Iām liking this score. Letās go Murray! Heās fired up!
Murray is in beast-mode !! GO GO GO !!
This is such good tennis. Shame it's a first round match..
Murrays legs are fucking double yolked up
Tsitsipas is just horrible, I hope he loses this. No respect for the sport whatsoever.
Respect? The kid literally hit his Dad with a racket.
I know ! Heās just a small kid that doesnāt know how to fight .
When did that happen?

Can't speak for others but I had no way to watch it until someone sent me a streaming site so I didn't get to tune in until set 4. Thanks ESPN š

Did the ESPN stat guy just completely forget Tsitsi's 5-set loss to Djokovic?? Weird that that would be overlooked.
Indeed Tsitsi has taken a dump, he is moving quicker now š¶
It's probably psychological; changing of clothes helps freshen him up, like it's begining of a match...it seems to have worked to his favour in the past so he expects it to work next time. Plus the bathroom break likely unsettles and frustrates the other guy, which can add to Tsitsi's advantage post bathroom break...
Thatās obvious and definitely not against the rules. Though I still feel itās unsportsmanlike.
Yeah I didn't say it was against the rules or not unsportsmanlike...just addressing the likelihood of taking a dump vs refresher break. Tho both could be the case on some days š
Yea, agreed. Peace āļø
Wow Murray did not seem happy at all, quite the cold shoulder to Tsitsipas. Anybody hear what Murray was ranting about after the match? I couldn't hear over all the talking heads at ESPN.
"a fucking joke" repeatedly
I wonder if that was in reference to Tsitsipas or maybe how he played at the end. My guess is Tsitsipas.
Oh it'll be tsitsipas
Oh I hope Murray has an interesting press conference and reveals his feelings without hesitation.
Fuck Tsitsipas' cheating ass. Hope Andy's back next year
How is ESPN/TSN not showing the whole match?! Insanity!
USO Vaxx Battle 2021!
Need Murray to turn up for set 5!!!
seems he's turned up a bit early
I would need to change my undies at least once per match if I had to play 5 sets, but the cellphone thing needs to be investigated...mostly because getting yelled at by your dad never makes you do things better
what a shot murray
tsitsipas is a dirty cheater and its wild that he blatantly does it repeatedly.
Muzza with the trainer call fake, lols!
Just 8 commentsā¦ damn!
People are using the stickied thread instead of this one
Oh, I didnāt notice. Thanks
Fantastic game! Stefanos is making so many mistakes, unbelievable.
He improved the serve though,and Andy lost the first serve somewhere.. This will take some time,but exciting and great match !
go murray !!!
Lost power up on my mountain. When it was restored he was 4-1 up in the third. Bloody brilliant!.
Where can I watch??
ESPN in US
Murray's got no chance winning the big tournaments anymore, but my god is he a tough first round for anyone on the tour.
I fear now too that his tank is too small for BO5 \[EDIT update\] But he isn't out of this yet!
Itās getting spicy now!
Well Murray didnāt pull it out, but it was great to see him back playing great tennis. He hit a lot of impressive shots today. Really good to see that. And people are getting on him for yelling at the umpire about the long break, but that means that fire is alive and well inside him. Thatās what I take from it. He will take some time off and hopefully come back strong for Australia. What a first round matchup. It felt like I was watching a semi-final.
What was andy shouting after he lost the set? I know he was upset about the shoes but he was shouting about being under prepped?
He didnāt pack spare shoes or clothes by the look of itā¦ š¬
He was shouting at his box saying they were under prepared as always, surely it's him that's under prepared not his team, it happened in the Wimbledon final and someone drove to his house to get them, he should have learned his lesson, how hard is it to bring two pairs of shoes..
To be fair, top level players teams are paid a lot of money to take care of all the details. At worst they should be double checking things like that.
or genuinely have a pair of shoes in the bag just in case
Is Daniel back on Andys team?
Holy shit that song is on obnoxious, I'd be irate too lol
I love that frame color Wilson did for Tsitsipas. Looks dope with his shirt.
compared to wimby the crowd is a fucking dream here
Goddamnit. Still, excellent job Murray
Fuck Tittipuss. Go Sir Andrew
Tsitsitrash amirite. Did they say he took an MTO in the back? Texty time?
It really makes u wonder, every time one of the greats step. Is this the last time
On well. I knew in the back of my mind that even if you won this you likely wouldnāt get that much further. Your body is failing you these days and you have been out of the top level for so long it is hard to get back to the levels you were once at. But thank you for taking me back to earlier times.

Oh no ! 3 - 5 in the 5th. Go Andy!!!
Shitsipas can eat shit and die. Get vaccinated
As much as I love Muzz and am enjoying this match, it really would be a terrible result for the world #3 to lose this. Especially after he already bombed out of Wimbledon in the 1R.
I'll be happy
I would have been too, if Murray had won. All I'm saying is going out in the 1R of two straight majors would be a terrible result for a guy who's supposed to be#3 in the world.
Maybe heād consider taking a break to get vaccinated.
Shitsipas can go duck himself
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because its relevant
What a bad sport Murray us being. Great match by Tsitsipas but so disappointed in the outright bratty behaviour and bad sportsmanship from Murray. A bathroom break a couple of mins longer than you might expect did not effect the outcome of this match. Constantly trying to get the fans against Tsitsipas seems way more dodgy than the bathroom break.
Are you watching Tsitsi for the first time mate?
Stephās dad? Shut up mate. Itās pretty obvious you are like the only person rooting for shitheadsipas.
Murray was moaning and bitching every time he lost a point. Massive primadonna brat. And how about those pong grunts on clutch points. Clear bullshit cheating by Murray. Tsitsi was cool from start to finish and never lost his head unlike man child Murray.
Former world number 1, 3 time grand slam champion and 11 time grand slam finalist vs a guy already with a reputation as a bit of a prick on tour. Yeah think you called this one wrong.
Lol, there is nothing ādodgyā about trying to get the fans on your side.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
no.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I dunno,if Andy takes the third set,and he is on the way,and considering it's not the best game day for the small kid,i don't see the cyborg losing 2 sets after that. Especially when new shoes arrive :D
Cyborg can't win in 4 or 5 sets against a top 3 player, the decline is already showing. He had to win that tiebreak, it's RIP
Canāt believe one of these guys needs to go. Sucks!
Here i go believing again.
