Alejandro Davidovich Fokina sealed a comeback win from two sets down against Felix Auger-Aliassime but whilst it was a strange match for a lot of reasons, in particular it saw the match switched to another court at the Australian Open.
Davidovich Fokina and Auger-Aliassime had to up tools and shift over to the court adjacent to theirs in bizarre scenes due to a certain Arthur Cazaux.
Albeit Cazaux lost anyway so the French support was in vain but it is perhaps the first time that this has been seen and shows the wall of noise that Jacob Fearnley had to encounter.
Fearnley though had the same issue against Nick Kyrgios so he knows how to deal with it now and he came out on top while ADF himself dealt with it better as he came out on top in a late night epic.
Auger-Aliassime and Davidovich had to chance court mid match cause the crowd was too loud on the adjacent court. First time I've seen this. https://t.co/4EaAkO2ouO
