Murray had just taken the fourth set in his five-set thriller against Kokkinakis.

But while the Scot might have been used to the time being four O’clock in the UK, the time down under was 3am.

And after taking the fourth set, a fuming Murray said: “It’s 3 f***ing o’clock in the morning, and we’re not allowed to take a p***.

“It’s so disrespectful. It’s a joke.”

Earlier in the match, Murray produced an astonishing defence to deny Kokkinakis a potentially decisive advantage in the third set.

And Murray capitalised on the lifeline provided to him and sealed a stunning comeback by taking three sets in a row.

This breathtaking match followed on from an spectacular first round match against 13th seed Matteo Berrettini which went the distance before Murray won the match in a tie-break.

Murray has never won the Australian open, but been runner up in the tournament five times, with Roger Federer inflicting two defeats and Novak Djokovic inflicting three.
