Grigor Dimitrov beat Andy Murray in Brisbane in three sets 4-6 7-5 6-2. This match will be remembered for something odd. The Bulgarian sensation broke as many as four strings during the match. In the on-court interview, he said that the problem could have been the high humidity in Brisbane. However, it is quite plausible that the real issue was a bad batch of strings. Grigor also confessed that he was growing nervous because he feared he could finish his set of rackets. He had only three left.
Here is what happened.
