Jerzy Janowicz into third round after comeback in Australian Open

Janowicz into third round after comeback

Jerzy Janowicz booked his place in the third round of the Australian Open on Wednesday, but only after recovering from a first-set loss.

The Wimbledon semi-finalist came back from a set down to see off Spanish opponent Pablo Andujar 6-4 6-7 6-7 3-6 in the second stage on Show Court Three at Melbourne Park.

The world number 20, who is ranked 28 places higher than the Spaniard, threw away three break points in a losing opening set, before squeezing past Andujar via tie breaks in the following two.

However, Janowicz made sure of avoiding any upset by picking up a comfortable victory in the final set.
