Nishikori saves 2 match points to advance in his Australian Open comeback

Kei Nishikori was playing at the Australian Open for the first time in four years and twice faced match points that could have ended his tournament in straight sets. The 2014 U.S. Open runner-up fended off both match points and held in the 10th game of the third set, and rallied for a 4-6, 6-7 (4), 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 win over Brazilian qualifier Thiago Monteiro in just over four hours. For the 35-year-old Nishikori, who has missed the last three Australian tournaments because of a series of hip, ankle an knee injuries, it was a fifth comeback victory from two-sets down at a Grand Slam.
