While it remained unpunished in terms of the context of the match, Murray still tasted a punishment post match.

"When your partner double faults on match point... there are consequences," wrote Townsend.

He explained the thought process behind it on their on court interview: "It was punishment for me to keep bloody serving in the net. I was like blowing it all of the time. She was like, ‘oh my God, we should do some press-ups.'"

"I didn’t really want to be playing a third set there but we did well to get through. Played five sets and four tiebreaks so happy to get through and I think tomorrow we’ll play mixed, we won’t play men’s tomorrow, still waiting for people to win and stuff. But happy days, yeah," he added.
