No tanks as Tomic wins epic struggle

With his father banned from the US Open and memories burning of an early surrender in a second-round exit last year, Australia's Bernard Tomic ground out a five-set victory on Monday.

Tomic, No 52 in the world, rallied to outlast Spain's 75th-ranked Albert Ramos 6-3, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6 (1), 6-3 and said he felt he had proven a point with a courageous fightback.

One year after headlines dubbed him "Tomic the Tank Engine" after he lamely withered through the final games of a second-round loss to Andy Roddick, the 20-year-old was on his game, not going home.
