Tennis: Marco Cecchinato loses first eight games, but still beats Stan Wawrinka

Marco Cecchinato dropped the first eight games of his second round match at the Monte Carlo Masters but is still in the draw after battling back to beat Stan Wawrinka 0-6, 7-5, 6-3. The number 11 seed looked down and out as the 2014 champion Wawrinka, unseeded this year, served for the match at 5-4 in the second set, but Cecchinato broke serve, levelled the match and broke again in the sixth game of the decider to set up a remarkable turnaround. The world number 16's reward is a third-round match against Argentina's Guido Pella, who put out number 7 seed Mari Cilic earlier in the day.
