MELBOURNE : American Michael Mmoh is afraid he will wake up and realise his run to the Australian Open third round was just a dream.
But fate stepped in and injuries to other players meant the world's 109th ranked player got a late call-up and on Thursday he followed up a win against French qualifier Laurent Lokoli by knocking out Germany's 12th seed Alexander Zverev. "The past 48 hours has been a complete whirlwind from going from being ready to go back home, booking a flight, packing my bags. I was supposed to leave yesterday.Asked how events had transpired in his favour, Mmoh explained:"I was talking to my fiancee, you know, she was like, why don't you fly out tonight?"Then all of a sudden I got a call from the ATP guy. I have never answered a phone call so fast in my life. First ring, and I was on it.
