An emotional Andy Murray fought back the tears after reaching the Australian Open second round - three years on from considering retiring from the sport he loves at this very tournament.
Murray rolled back the years to produce a vintage display as he beat Nikoloz Basilashvili in five sets 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-4.
The three-hour and 52-minute victory over the big-hitting Georgian was Murray's first victory in Melbourne for five years.
