Marinko Matosevic finally gave Australian tennis fans something to cheer about after coming from a set down to beat Robin Haase at the Austrian Open on Monday.

Matosevic upset the Dutch sixth seed 1-6 6-3 6-2, wrapping up the first round encounter in one hour and 37 minutes.

Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller was also forced to stage a recovery mission to beat Steve Darcis of Belgium and reach the second round.

World No.81 Muller dropped the first set in a tie-break but did not allow Darcis a single break point in the last two sets as he emerged a 6-7 (7-3) 6-4 6-3 winner.
