Returning star Alexander Zverev has survived an early Australian Open scare to scramble into the second round with a five-set comeback win over qualifying lucky loser Juan Pablo Varillas.
The German 12th seed was expected to breeze past the Peruvian, ranked No.103, but instead had to claw his way to a 4-6 6-1 5-7 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 victory on Margaret Court Arena on Tuesday.
