- Russian fights back from 2-1 down to win in five sets
- No 5 seed will face Yannik Sinner in quarter-final
Hopes of local glory at the Australian Open have been blown away on a windy evening in Melbourne after a late barrage from the No 5 seed, Andrey Rublev, jettisoned Alex de Minaur in the last 16.
De Minaur was in the box seat after taking sets two and three and looked the fresher of the players into the fourth, but the Russian found another level to take an epic contest on Sunday night 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-0 in 4hr 14min.
