Evans' victory over Khachanov at the US Open voted best Grand Slam comeback of 2024 by the ATP

The ATP has compiled its top 5 biggest comebacks in Grand Slam matches this season.

Marathon encounters with surprising outcomes, where the eventual loser had a big lead in each of the games played.

The longest match in US Open history between Daniel Evans and Karen Khachanov tops the list.

Trailing 4 games to 0 in the fifth set, with break points to save on his serve, the Briton staged an improbable comeback to win in 5 hours and 35 minutes (6-7, 7-6, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4).

This success enabled him to qualify for the second round in New York and maintain his unbeaten record against the Russian (5 wins to 0 for Evans in head-to-head encounters).

In second place, Tomas Machac's fantastic comeback against David Goffin in the first round of Wimbledon.

Down two sets to nil and then 5-0 in the final set against the Belgian lucky loser, the Czech came back from nowhere to win the super tie-break (3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, 7-6) in a breathless match that saw both players break nine times.

Third place went to Thanasi Kokkinakis, who pulled off an incredible comeback against Felix Auger-Aliassime in the first round of Wimbledon.

Trailing by two sets, the Australian faced four match points in the third set tie-break, but saved them all.

In the end, he secured his first win against a top 20 player in 2024, totally reversing the trend against the Canadian (4-6, 5-7, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4) in 4 hours and 38 minutes.

Next up was Jiri Lehecka, who had had a bizarre day in the second round of the US Open.

Trailing 7-6, 6-0, 3-0 to local player Mitchell Krueger, the Czech, who seemed to be affected by the heat, found the physical and mental resources to completely overturn his opponent.

He eventually won 6-7, 0-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 with a total of 67 winners.

To conclude, Daniil Medvedev's second round match at the Australian Open.

Having got off to a bad start against a solid Emil Ruusuvuori, the Russian, who eventually reached the final, was able to raise his game and count on his opponent's physical decline to win 3-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 6-0.
