Cheers soon turned to jeers for Daniil Medvedev after his epic five-set win over Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Australian Open.
The Russian, who became favourite for the tournament following the deportation of Novak Djokovic, produced a remarkable fightback to prevail 6-7 (4-7) 3-6 7-6 (7-2) 7-5 6-4 in front of a raucous crowd at the Rod Laver Arena.
Medvedev is now just two wins away from a second Grand Slam title, having beaten Djokovic to claim the US Open last September, but his hopes hung in the balance after going two sets down to the Canadian.
