Four-time champion Roger Federer has been knocked out in the third round of the Australian Open by unheralded Italian Andreas Seppi.
The 33-year-old Swiss second seed went down 6-4 7-6 4-6 7-6 (7-5) to Seppi, who is ranked 46 in the world.
Seppi, 30, had never beaten the 17-time Grand Slam champion in 10 previous meetings and his win ends a 23-match losing streak against top 10 opponents.
“I just tried my best and it was one of my best matches for sure,” said Seppi.
