Andy Murray urged that his 'big heart' helped him bounce back from two sets down to win against Thanasi Kokkinakis in the second round of the Australian Open on Thursday.

Having carved out one of the most impressive displays of his career against Matteo Berrettini on Tuesday, Murray found himself two sets behind against the Australian and was seemingly heading for a tournament exit. 

But the 35-year-old dug his heels in and produced an incredible five-set turnaround, winning 4-6, 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 7-5, in what will surely go down as one of the Scot's best ever turnarounds.
