Chinese tennis prodigy Juncheng Shang blunted Sumit Nagal's challenge at the Australian Open to halt the Indian's impressive run at the first major of the season on Thursday.

The second round contest lasted two hours and 50 minutes and it was clear that Nagal had run out of steam in the fourth set.
