The 25-year-old Indian qualifier ranked 122, had his chances against World No 103 Cypriot, but unforced errors cost him the match 6-7(4) 4-6 3-6 after two hours and nine minutes on court number eight. Bhambri is yet to win a round in the main draw of a Grand Slam and the Australian Open is the only Major he has played.

In 2016, when he made the cut after breaking into the top-100, he drew Tomas Berdych and again failed to go beyond the first round. It was a good chance for him to improve his record but 33 unforced errors meant that his good work of the past few weeks could not yield him a good result at the big stage.
