Andrey Rublev confessed to surviving a game of Russian roulette after saving two match points to scrap his way into the Australian Open quarter-finals for a second time.
Rublev staged a stunning fightback in the match tiebreaker to secure a 6-3 3-6 6-3 4-6 7-6 (11-9) victory with a dead net cord winner on his third match point against rising Dane Holger Rune on Monday.
