Andy Murray posted a monosyllabic response on social media to his former doubles partner Dan Evans’ thrilling win at the US Open.

Evans won the longest match in US Open history despite trailing 4-0 in the deciding set against his Russian opponent Karen Khachanov.

The Briton won six games in a row and achieved an incredible victory in five hours and 33 minutes with 6:7, 7:6, 7:6, 4:6, 6:4.

At the recent Paris Olympics, Evans staged some incredible comebacks alongside Murray before the pair were eliminated in the quarterfinals – ending the historic career of his Scottish doubles partner.

After Evans’ victory, Murray responded with one word to the thriller in Flushing Meadows.

Dan Evans secured victory in the longest US Open match in history on Tuesday evening

Former doubles partner Andy Murray took to social media immediately after Evans’ victory

In a post on the social media platform X, the 37-year-old former US Open winner wrote: “Goosebumps.”

For Evans, it was his first Tour victory since March, and he also addressed the topic of retirement.

The 34-year-old seemed to be completely exhausted in the last set when the score was 0-4, but somehow still found the strength for an incredible comeback and reached the second round, where he will now face the Argentinian Mariano Navone.

After his victory he said: “I haven’t played much tennis this year, I’ve tried to keep fighting.”

“I thought I was out, I felt sorry for myself, but then I tried to keep going and I didn’t want to leave another Grand Slam with a lot of fighting spirit and a whimper.

“I noticed he was struggling a little bit and I just tried to win one game at a time. My serve was really, really bad, but I just got a bad headache and I need to get rid of it.”

He added: “I have never been on a course for so long. I don’t think I have ever played for so long, five hours, in two sessions in one day, let alone one.”

Evans said after his victory that he had never spent “the longest” time on a tennis court.

“I actually thought that on the pitch. I’ve never trained for two hours, two hours. Usually it takes an hour and a half.”

His victory came after fellow Briton Katie Boulter also celebrated a comeback win in her first-round match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich.

Boulter lost the first set 5-7 but came back to win the last two sets 6-2 and 6-1.
