British men's number six Arthur Fery is making his overseas Grand Slam main draw debut

British qualifier Arthur Fery claimed another notable Grand Slam scalp by beating Italian 20th seed Flavio Cobolli to cause the first shock on day one of the Australian Open.

World number 185 Fery matched the biggest win of his career with a 7-6 (7-1) 6-4 6-1 victory at a sun-soaked Melbourne Park.

The 23-year-old, making his main draw debut at an overseas Grand Slam, beat 20th seed Alexei Popyrin at Wimbledon last year.

Cobolli was struggling physically from the start with a stomach issue, running off court at the end of the opening set for a toilet break.
