Heads up for Tennis followers.
Murray's just out on court now.
Could be his last ever match.

He's finished and the sooner he stops at that level the better for his future year health.

Taken the first game.

A set down. 6-4
Misses a break point to go 5-3 up.
Loses next game, then Bautista-Agut serves out.
He just can't do the long rallies anymore.
Sad really.

What channel is this on? (Please)

Eurosport 1.

It's on TSN1 too.

Currently looking like going 2 sets down.

So far we've got Katie Boulter and Dan Evans into round two. There a realistic chance that the players who knock them out in round two go on to win their tournaments. (Sabalenka and Federer)

We've lost, Kyle Edmund to Berdych, Heather Watson to Martic, Harriet Dart to Sharapova (double bagel, ouch)

Murray and Norrie playing now, though both are 2 sets down, and Konta to play tomorrow.

It's a little sad to see Andy struggling.
Still, he's up there amongst Britains all time great sportsman.

The drop shot attempts are coming out now. They were a staple of Murray's early career before he reached super-human fitness and needed to shorten points because of tiredness.

Breaks serve for first time!
Haha
The noise from the crowd for that was unbelievable!

If Murray wins this set he'll win the match. *prays*

Done it!!
Takes the 3rd set tiebreaker.

Come on Andy.

Horrible to watch him struggle like this .... all respect to him though !!

It is.
But at 4-3 down in the 3rd, he found something, and showed just how good a player he's been.
Some brilliant tennis.
Guess he's earned it to choose when he ends his career.

That stop volley. The hips might be gone but those shots never leave you. Pure class.

Back from the dead to level at 2 Sets all .... amazing performance !!

Unbelievable!
Great stuff, Andy .

Takes the fourth set tiebreak.

No personality

He's a goner.

Am off work today so watching this. Was brilliant for a spell but looks like he is shot now, can barely move.

All over.
Superb effort.
Given me some of my greatest sporting memories.
He's getting a hell of a send off by the Aussie crowds too.

A shoe-in for life-time achievement at SPOTY at some point in the future.

I don't think this was his last match. He'd have been in tears during that interview if it was.

He'll be back.

Possibly take a few months off and come back for a last Wimbledon?

Given me some fabulous highs over his career. They all have to end sometime, good luck to him whatever he goes into.
Thanks for the memories.

I'll never relate more to a piece of commentary than when Henman (i think) said "i feel sick" when Djokovic came from 40-0 down in the final game of that Wimbledon final.

Sorry to derail the Murray love-in but I don’t agree with him doing that, although I already think that’s his plan, hence the announcement.

To play at Wimbledon where he is unlikely to get past the first round just to get a send-off, making it a media circus around him and in doing so denying someone else the chance of playing is very egotistical of him.

It's a fair point. But on the other hand, what do the public want to see? Murray's last hurrah, or the world number 128?

They’re a rum bunch if they want to see him hobble around the court in agony before eventually losing to a virtual nobody.
