Tennis-Pouille reels in Coric to make first Melbourne quarter-final
The Frenchman made hard work of the fourth set, allowing 11th seed Coric to break back and drag the match into a tiebreak in the twilight at Melbourne Arena. Pouille raised his game when it mattered, however, flicking a delightful lob over Coric to move within two points of victory.
The 28th seed Pouille grabbed four match points when Coric netted a volley and converted the first of them when the Croat hammered a shot over the baseline. Pouille will meet 16th seed Milos Raonic for a place in the semi-finals. (Editing by John O'Brien)
