Moving on, Bautista Agut will take on Australia's John Millman in the 2nd round. That's it from us at Sportskeeda. Join us for the coverage tomorrow! Ciao!
Murray addresses the crowd after his match and he himself is not sure if this is final match or not. He was quite emotional lost for words and wasn't able to speak much.
And that's the MATCH for Bautista Agut! What a performance by him despite the crowd being completely behind Murray. What a great fight by the Scot to come back from 2 sets down. What a fighter! The big question now is - will he call it quits from the sport?
Murray gets broken! The scot had a great chance to break Agut's serve in the 2nd game but ends up getting broken in the very next. The crowd is in silence.
Murray opens his account in the final set with a hold of serve. Quite a few errors starting to come out of Bautista Agut's racket. Has he lost the plot?
Murray continues to serve well to dig himself out of sticky situations. There have been moments where he was seen walking a bit awkwardly though. Can he keep himself in the match?
The 4th set begins with a couple of holds of serve from the rackets of both players. Murray was holding his thigh for a while. Cramps. maybe? That wouldn't be good for him.
AND MURRAY DOES IT! He wins the 3rd set in emphatic fashion, winning the tie-break 7-5. What a match it has been so far, and what a great fightback from Murray. Amazing stuff!
Murray had a set point in that game but after a hawkeye call, a net-cord, and some amazing tennis after that by Bautista Agut, he held his serve. What a game of tennis!
ITS NOT OVER! Murray breaks back in sensational fashion! He just doesn't give up, does he? Its back on serve now. An excellent last point which ended with a backhand winner
And Bautista Agut wins the 2nd set as well! It will take a monumental effort for Murray to make a comeback now. Will this be his last ever match at a Grand Slam? The 3rd set is about to get underway.
Murray played quite well throughout the set but Agut was slightly better on the big points. Murray's first serve has been a problem as well, with only 37% being in. It's time for the 2nd set! Can the Scot make a comeback?
And Bautista Agut holds serve to win the first set! A great service game and the Spaniard was able to keep his nerve. That set took 50 minutes to complete.
Bautista Agut hands the first blow of the match to Murray as he breaks him in the 9th game of the first set. After plenty of long rallies in the match, Murray did seem quite fatigued at the end of that game.
The opening set continues on serve and there were few shades of vintage Murray in the last 2 games. He seems to be moving around well and his backhand is on fire!
A great service game by Murray - a couple of good first serves and a few good kick serves as well on the second serve. Not too many winners from the racket of either player yet.
Murray gets the first game in the bag - thanks to a couple of good serves and a couple of errors from Bautista Agut's racket. The crowd is loud and cheering every point Murray wins. Bautista Agut follows the first service game with an easy hold from his end.
We're all set to get underway! Andy Muray will get the match started! The stadium is full and it seems like all of them are behind Murray - as this might be his last ever tournament.
After hinting at his retirement and leaving everyone in shock, Andy Murray will take the court today in what could be his last match ever. He will be up against an in-form Roberto Bautista Agut, who is coming fresh off a title victory at Doha, where he defeated Novak Djokovic in the semifinals. The match will take place at the Melbourne Arena not before 12:30 IST or 18:00 AEDT
