:worship: That's one of the best comebacks in Grand Slam history! Hanescu saved a match point in two sets and was 4 points away from losing fifth set!
3rd set: Hernych was serving for the match at 5:4; Hanescu was 6:7 down in the tie-break on Hernych's serve
4th set: Hanescu was losing *3:4 (two BP's), *4:5 (second MP)
5th set: Hernych was serving for the match at 6:5

It's fifth case in Australian Open history that a player who lost first two sets won another tight-three:
1980: 1R - U.Marten d. C.Letcher 4-6 1-6 7-6 7-5 8-6
1982: 3R - S.Denton d. J.Alexander 6-7 4-6 7-6 7-5 7-6
1999: 1R - J.Knippschild d. W.Arthurs 3-6 4-6 7-6 7-5 8-6
2004: 3R - G.Canas d. T.Henman 6-7 5-7 7-6 7-5 9-7
2009: 1R - V.Hanescu d. J.Hernych 3-6 3-6 7-6 7-6 8-6
