A buzzing Chris O'Connell is ranking his pulsating five-set comeback win over Christian Garin as his career highlight after being the first local to reach the second round of 2024 Australian Open.
Fresh off soaring to within the cusp of the world's top 50 last season, O'Connell showed his class and resilience on Sunday to recover from two sets to one down and prevail 3-6 7-5 4-6 6-1 7-5 in a marathon encounter stretching almost four and a half hours.
