Bolt beats Sock for first grand slam win
Journeyman Alex Bolt is celebrating his first victory at a grand slam tournament after coming from a set down to beat American Jack Sock in the opening round the Australian Open.
The 26-year-old South Australian wildcard won 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-2 on Tuesday to set up a second-round encounter against French No.29 seed Gilles Simon.
Bolt's only previous appearances in the main draws at majors ended in first-round defeats last year at Wimbledon and at the previous two editions of the Australian Open.
