Never-say-die Dane Sweeny has kept a fond Australian tradition going by battling through qualifying to reach the Wimbledon main draw after a brutal four-hour slog in searing heat.
The diminutive Penrith-born player with the big heart roared back after getting whitewashed in the fourth set against tough Tomas Barrios Vera, handing the Chilean a 'bagel' of his own in the decider to win the final-round qualifier 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-5) 0-6 6-2 in his first ever fifth-set decider.
