The rare feat could join the ranks of storied comebacks in tennis, which lends itself to giant turnarounds because of its unique scoring system that requires players to win specific combinations of points and games.

It's a stunning achievement, especially v a higher-ranked player, but there have been similar comebacks before, even in a slam - in R1 at Roland Garros in 2004, Lisa Raymond came back from 0-6 0-5 2MPs down to beat Ľubomíra Kurhajcová SVK 0-6 7-5 6-3 (see https://t.co/azViOHGvMQ) https://t.co/TQV6xD8jSH
