Stefanos Tsitsipas outlasts Taylor Fritz in five-set epic at Australian Open.

Fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas survived a gruelling fourth-round battle with Taylor Fritz, twice coming from a set behind to win 4-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 and reach the Australian Open quarterfinals.

Fritz used his destructive forehand to great effect throughout the contest and Tsitsipas looked under pressure in the first set, often struggling to beat the shot clock when serving.

Tsitsipas dug deep in the fourth set and broke the Fritz serve at 3-3 with a powerful forehand after the American had saved one break point by edging a brutal rally.

He double-faulted to hand Tsitsipas a break point and although the Greek could not take that one, he got another chance and this time he showed great defensive qualities to scramble back some huge Fritz forehands before his opponent netted an awkward low volley.
