Laver Cup 2022 LIVE: Latest scores and updates ahead of Roger Federer’s final match

A simple hold from De Minaur, as both players catch their breath after that huge first set.

There’s been some brilliant play already.

That is classic Andy Murray! He wins an 82 minute opening set, digging in and showing classic resolve to get over the line. There’s still another set to go and it means it will probably be closer to 10pm when Federer and Nadal take to the court.

There’s another brilliant exchange to start the second set, with Murray and De Minaur exchanging volleys before Murray puts away the forehand pass.

Murray is again too quick at the net, getting his hold.

Remarkable, on we go. Murray asks for more from the crowd after saving another game point from De Minaur, getting himself back to deuce as he tips the volley wide.

And this time it’s Murray’s turn! De Minaur blinks on the backhand and now it’s set point Murray, can he break?

No! Murray hangs in there again, chasing all over the court, but this time De Minaur drops and Murray nets. He’s knackered after that! Some brilliant reactions from the bench, too.

Murray responds with a drop shot of his own, and it’s perfect! Second set point.

Double fault from De Minaur! Incredible! How has Murray won that?

Stunning from Murray! He plays a brilliant backhand winner on the turn, passing De Minaur at the net! It moves Murray to 15-30 on the De Minaur serve and he’s inches away from the drop shot winner too.

Murray frames a forehand but De Minaur can’t reply streching for the backhand. It sets up another deuce. This is another good chance for Murray, but he rattles a backhand into the net.

Instead, he produces another stunning shot, this time a beautiful pick-up volley – but De Minaur sends the forehand winner straight past him.

Still, De Minaur can’t get there. Murray clips the net-cord , stalling De Minaur, before playing the forehand pass! We go on…

Murray raises his fist and snarls back at Federer and his teammates after putting away an overhead, but just like on the previous point, he nets rather limply on the forehand.

Back to deuce – neither player is having an easy time holding. Great hands from Murray at the end, though! He picks up a driven reply from De Minaur, as the Australian then nets. Murray lets out another sign of relief as De Minaur nets again, he gets to six games.

We’re nearing an hour and headng towards a very long opening set. Those waiting for Federer’s last match may need to push their schedules back a little longer…

De Minaur holds without much fuss and now Murray will see if he can make the Australian serve to stay in the set once more.

Murray is able to grind his way through his next service game, the serve again getting him out of some bother. He’s not able to put away the overhead at the net, though, and do De Minaur takes him into deuce.

De Minaur goes long off the return but then Murray puts one long from inside the baseline. This time Murray gets out. He outlasts De Minaur from the baseline and edges ahead once more.

The match comes down to earth a bit with some scrappy points, but Murray is able to drag himself back to a deuce on the De Minaur serve. The Australian still struggles to put Murray away, before Murray bids his time and then unleashes a brilliant forehand winner crosscourt!

Back to deuce, and De Minaur throws in a tight double fault… but then responds with three aces. Nicely done.

Murray comes up with the serves he needs to get out from 15-30, before finding the angled forehand to seal the hold and edge ahead in the match. He heads back to his bench a much happier man.

From that moment of magic, De Minaur nets twice after some clean play from Murray. It brings up three break points and Murray takes the first! He roars at Federer, Nadal and Djokovic! Great stuff.
