Me as a child:

Look, it's been an engaging contest, and I don't want to leave you hanging, but I also need to get at least *something* done today.

So I might be a bit scarce this set. Might I refer you to the very capable tweeting fingers of Del🇪🇺 to take up the match call from here?

LOL. Three hours. Three minutes. Three-all. Third set.

Frances is me:

Ahahaha. Frances does some extra running after another futile chasedown of a Murray pass and finds a new friend.

You just hate to see a blowout like this. At least make it close, gentlemen!

Murray up 4-2* in the breaker at the change of ends. It's already painfully evident who the winner will be:

(Diego Schwartzman, who awaits the winner)

That this is still going on after 6-all in the final set breaker is kind of a no-doubter. The longest best of three match of the year.

And to think: this is just the undercard for the Zizou Bergs match?! 😜

Frances after the ace erase to make it 7-all in the buster: 😄

Andy: 😄

Well, you hate to see anyone lose a match like that. But after so many close defeats against top-ranked competition, I'm very happy for Andy and all his fans that he was able to squeak by.

Incredible contest. But Andy takes it 76(2) 67(7) 76(8) in 3h40m over Tiafoe.

Just the 21 aces for Muzz in that one.

The longest Bof3 match of the year, people! I'm printing up my 'I survived Murray-Tiafoe 2021' T-shirts as we speak. Link to follow!

'I think that's the first time in my career I played a 76 67 76. I think it's the longest match I've played by quite a distance. I'm tired right now.'
