Oh my God! This is unbelievable stuff from Atmane. He can barely stand with cramps but despite that he has managed to break Medvedev's serve in the fourth game. Medvedev would be mighty disappointed. He was ordinary at best in that game. It's 2-2 in the third set.

Australian Open 2024 Live updates, Day 2: This is not good. Atmane is really struggling with in what appears to be a cramp. He is hobbling on the court but has decided to carry but we don't know for how long. Mevedev would definitely like to seize this opportunity.
