Russian 13th seed Andrey Rublev came back from the brink to beat American Sam Querrey in five sets at the French Open on Tuesday. Trailing by two sets and 5-2 to the big-serving Querrey it seemed as though Rublev was about to suffer a similar first-round fate to his fourth-seeded compatriot Daniil Medvedev.

The 22-year-old had never recovered a two-set deficit before but showed incredible fight to gradually turn the match around to win 6-7(5) 6-7(4) 7-5 6-4 6-3 in three hours and 17 minutes. Rublev's first French Open match win sets him up for a second-round clash with Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
