Murray Beats Berrettin in the First Round of the Australian Open

Andy Murray beat Italian 13th seed Matteo Berrettini to win a five-set thriller in the Australian Open first round.

Murray, who thought hip surgery in 2019 would end his career, saved a match point at 5-4 in the decider.

It was 66th-ranked Murray’s first victory over a top-20 opponent at a Grand Slam since 2017.
