<p>In the second set of his ATP Tour debut, Berrettini was serving as Murray led 5-2 when he became lightheaded and had to put his racquet on the ground to steady himself. Before the show started, a medical attendant came to check on him and take his blood pressure.</p>
<p>After losing that set, Berrettini exited the court, but he was able to complete the two-hour and forty-nine-minute match. Murray’s 6-3 6-3 4-6 6-7(7) 7-6 (10-6) triumph in the first round of the 2023 Australian Open was matched in a contest that lasted over five hours.</p>
<p>Murray said, “It was definitely a great win for me.” “I thought I played pretty well from the end of the first set to the end of the match, although I did start off a little bit slow.”</p>
