Australian Open 2007 - Day 5

January 20, 2007

Argentine eighth seed David Nalbandian came from match points down for the second time this week to beat Frenchman Sebastien Grosjean 5-7, 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-1 in a marathon Australian Open third-round tussle on Saturday.

Nalbandian, a semi-finalist last year, looked dead and buried at two sets down and 4-5, 0-40 down in the third, but he dug himself out to claim the subsequent tiebreak and went on to win in three hours and 56 minutes on Vodafone Arena.

"I prefer winning in three sets but it's not that simple sometimes," said Nalbandian after his second tough five-setter of the week.
