For the second time this fall, Andy Murray saved five championship points against Tommy Robredo to steal a title from the Spaniard. This time it came in Robredo’s home country at the Valencia Open in a match that lasted more than three hours.
Twitter reacted during and after Murray’s 3-6, 7-6(7), 7-6(8) triumph on Sunday:
