British No 1 Cameron Norrie suffered an agonising end to his Australian Open run as he was pipped in a fifth-set tie-break by Alexander Zverev.
Norrie had fought back from a set down to level the match, but Zverev proved too strong in the deciding set, winning 10-8 in the tie-break.
It was a disappointing end to a tournament in which Norrie had played some of his best tennis, but he can be proud of his performance against one of the world's best players.
Norrie will now turn his attention to the upcoming grass-court season, where he will be hoping to make a deep run at Wimbledon.
