Matteo Berrettini let a two-set-to-love lead slip and then rolled on his ankle early in the fifth set of his third round exchange against teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz in the Australian Open.
The seventh-seeded Italian, still struggling from the after-effects of food poisoning, however, was all guts in the decider to come away with a 6-2, 7-6 (3), 4-6, 2-6, 7-6 (10-5) win in four hours and 10 minutes.
