World number 219 Habib puts Lebanon on the map at Australian Open

Lebanese tennis player Hady Habib made history by becoming the first player from his country to win a men's singles main draw match at a Grand Slam in the professional era. Habib defeated China's Bu Yunchaokete in a thrilling match at the Australian Open. The 26-year-old raised his racket and held up a Lebanese flag to celebrate his victory. Habib's success comes at a tense time for Lebanon, with a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah holding after months of war.
