Cameron Norrie battled through a four-set victory over Emilio Nava to become the last British singles player standing at the Australian Open. The 26th seed required three hours and 20 minutes, prevailing 6-1 7-6 4-6 7-6 after a rain delay halted the fourth-set tie-break.

The Briton described the crowd support as 'unreal' and among the top three atmospheres of his career, creating a packed, electric environment at Melbourne Park. This follows the exits of Emma Raducanu and Arthur Fery, leaving Norrie to carry British hopes alone in the singles draw.

Norrie's reward is a daunting third-round clash with German third seed Alexander Zverev, who holds a 6-0 head-to-head record against him. The Briton acknowledged he must be more aggressive in any potential deciding-set tie-break, recalling a narrow loss to Zverev in Melbourne two years ago.
