An Andy Murray Epic...Aussie Open Tennis

[Furryanimal]

Came in from town about 1115 and Andy Murray was just starting against Kokkinakis.
Two sets down and behind in the third,still playing in the fifth over five hours later.
But should any sport be making their stars perform in the middle of the night?
Not unusual in the Aussie Open but thoughts please?
Good for us over here of course!
No idea who is going to win.
Result to follow
3.30 am in Australia as I write

He should have been given a better timeslot. I love pro tennis. Especially the AO!

Isn't there a heat wave? I guess they have to play when it cools down.

Murray wins fifth set 6-4 in a match lasting 5 hours 45 minutes.
The longest match he has ever played finishing at five past four in the morning.
