Australian teenager Nick Kyrgios has said that "it feels so good" following his memorable victory over Andreas Seppi in the last 16 of the Australian Open.
The 19-year-old sealed passage into the quarter-finals of his home Grand Slam as he came from two sets down to save a match point, before eventually coming out the winner after five sets in Melbourne.
"It feels so good," Kyrgios told reporters after the win. "I know that he had a lot of confidence beating Roger [Federer] and knew he was going to make a lot of balls.
"Drawing on my experience at Wimbledon coming back against [Richard] Gasquet [from two sets down], I knew I had the legs to do that."
The win sees Kyrgios become the youngest man to reach the quarters at Melbourne Park since Andrey Cherkasov in 1990.
