Andy Marie as before, a great fighter! The Briton advanced to the second round of the Australian Open after defeating the 13th seed Italian Matteo Berretini 6:3, 6:3, 4:6, 6:7 (7:9), 7:6 (10:6)
Andy was more concentrated in the fifth set where real tennis was seen. Andy dominated, while Mateo made mistake after mistake. After four hours and 49 minutes, he recorded his biggest victory since having a metal hip implanted.
