Four days after his three-hours-and-20-minutes epic against Kei Nishikori, Murray again broke the record for the longest three-set match in the history of the tournament after beating Milos Raonic in three hours and 38 minutes.

The Scot no doubt would rather not have his name inked in the history books in this way for, as remarkable an athlete as he is, he has surely severely compromised his chances of lifting the trophy and therefore holding onto top spot.

Murray immediately went into recovery mode after the match, spending 10 minutes in the ice bath before a session of stretching and a massage from physio Shane Annun.

Speaking afterwards, he said: "I don't know how I'll feel tomorrow. Obviously I'm tired just now because it was a really hard match. It wasn't just that it was physically hard, it was mentally a tough match, too. It was pretty stressful.

"I was quite far behind obviously in the second set. A set and a break down, I managed to turn it round. Then it was back and forth in the third set.

"Obviously tomorrow is the last day for a while, I get a break after that. I'll just give my best of what I've got. Hopefully it's enough."
