Jan-Lennard Struff has to do hard work in Melbourne. But in the end the German number two fights its way into the next round.
Struff converted his second match point after 3:58 hours. The tennis professional is now facing the Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic.
Daniel Altmaier, Yannick Hanfmann and Maximilian Marterer had previously lost their first round games. Alexander Zverev will contest his opening encounter this Tuesday (9 a.m./Eurosport) against Dominik Koepfer.
