Rublev staged a stunning fightback in the match tiebreaker to secure a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, and 7-6 (11-9) victory with a dead net cord winner on his third match point against rising Dane Holger Rune.
At the end of five gripping sets, ninth-seeded Rune raced to a 5-0 lead in the breaker and was also up 7-3 before suffering a dramatic collapse.
In the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, Andrey Rublev will face Novak Djokovic, who advanced after a dominating performance against Alex De Minaur.
