Andy Murray made a triumphant return to the Australian Open as he battled his way to a five-set victory Down Under against Nikoloz Basilashvili.
The super Scot came through a gruelling first round tie against the Georgian before winning 6-1 6-1 3-6 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-4.
On the very stage where he effectively announced his retirement three years ago, the marathon win is yet another sign of the 34-year-old’s amazing recovery.
