Zverev and De Minaur overcome tense moments to advance in Australia

  Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur overcame tense moments and rain interruptions in a late-night match in Melbourne on Wednesday to reach the third round of the Australian Open.

Third seed Zverev was determined to win his first Grand Slam title in two weeks, but faced a fierce fightback from Alexandre Muller in his 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory.

"Credit to him. Two days ago, he was up 7-6 in the fifth set against the Australian, Popyrin, and the way he played, he played incredible tennis," said Zverev, who hit 45 winners, as quoted by the ATP.
