HE COULDN'T GIVE ANY MURR

Heroic run ends

- NEIL McLEMAN

ANDY MURRAY said he wants to finish his career “doing myself justice” like his heroic run at the Australian Open.

And the former world No.1 leaves Melbourne with higher hopes for his future than after losing to Roberto Bautista Agut here in 2019. “I can do some damage,” he claimed.

Murray secured his best Major win with a metal hip over Matteo Berrettini and his longest and latest ever victory over Thanasi Kokkinakis in the first two rounds.

But despite the frenzied support of the crowd and his own sheer willpower, the stiffScot ran out of gas and miracles against No.24 seed Bautista Agut this time round to lose 6-1 6-7 6-3 6-4.
