The 31-year-old, who has struggled with a hip problem following surgery a year ago, said last week that he may be forced to retire after the Australian Open due to chronic pain.

However, despite losing the first two sets 6-4 6-4, the Brit drew on all his reserves to claim the third set on a tie-break to send their match to a fourth set.
