Goffin and Wawrinka through to the 3rd round of Australian Open

David Goffin had to endure a 5-set thriller match against Herbert in order to advance to the 3rd round. The Belgian started off really well winning the first set with 6-1. The second set was a bit tougher but ultimately he managed to secure it with 6-4. After that, the Frenchman mounted a massive comeback. First, he battled Goffin and barely managed to win the 3rd set with 6-4.

It was an adrenaline rush that carried him to a stunning 6-1 4th set victory where he destroyed the Belgian. But it wasn't enough. Goffin reclaimed some of the magic from the 1st set and calmly marched to a 6-3 victory over Herbert. It was an impressive showing from the Belgian albeit a very energy-consuming one.

Stan Wawrinka needed to pull out all his trick in order to advance past Seppi. The Italian was always a tricky opponent especially on slams where he nearly upset some of the all-time greats. It was a jojo of a match as neither player managed to win any substantial advantage over the other.

Andreas won the 1st set 6-4 but Wawrinka came back to win the 2nd 7-5. Then Wawrinka won the 3rd 6-3 but Andreas fought back to win the 4th win 6-3. The final set was a fascinating one. At 3-3 Seppi broke Wawrinka's serve and it seemed as if the Italian will win it. But he didn't, chiefly because Wawrinka went on a rampage stringing 3 games in a row and securing a 6-4 victory in dramatic fashion.
