Video - Comesaña's crazy point against Zverev

On Friday night, Francisco Comesaña pulled off the biggest performance of his career to date, winning his quarter-final match in Rio de Janeiro against Alexander Zverev, the world number 2 and the main headliner in Brazil (4-6, 6-3, 6-4).

Trailing 4-1 in the third and final set, the Argentine went on to win the last five games to advance to the last four, where he will face Alexandre Muller.

To turn things around and qualify, Comesaña showed all his defensive talent to completely crush the German.

On a point he was contesting on serve at 4-4, 40-40 in the third set, Zverev produced a very good first ball that gave him the opportunity to close out the rally fairly quickly at the net.

But Comesaña was heroic in defense, resisting Zverev's smash before hitting a backhand winner at the end of the court that completely pierced his opponent (see below).

Two games later, the Argentine concluded the match, winning his 7th match on the ATP circuit since the start of his career.
