Melbourne: Fifth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro is out of the Australian Open, losing 4-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5 to Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut in a big second-round upset.
It was Bautista Agut's first win in seven matches against a top 10 player, and del Potro's fourth second-round exit in eight years at the season's first major.
The match lasted 3 hours and 53 minutes and ended at 1:20 a.m. Friday after a long day of suspensions and delays in matches due to extreme heat and storms.
Del Potro won his 18th career singles title last week by beating Bernard Tomic in the final of the Sydney International, a key warmup event for the Australian Open.
