Home fans did not let up as they cheered a Kyrgios fightback from 5-4 down in the fourth set, before seeing him through a tie-break and, somehow, a winning fifth set.

Kyrgios has often said that the John Cain Arena, which is open to general ticket-holders, is his favorite to play on because of the atmosphere.
