Unseeded Australian Jordan Thompson grabbed one of the biggest wins of his career on Friday, ousting third-ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-6 (7/0), 4-6, 7-6 (7/5) to reach the third round of the Indian Wells WTA and ATP Masters. | Sport24news
"It's unreal at a Masters 1000 ... to have a win like that is incredible," said Thompson, the world number 87 whose only prior victory over a top-10 player came back in 2017 against Andy Murray at Queen's Club.
For Tsitsipas it was another setback in the wake of his sparkling run to the Australian Open final in January. Tsitsipas and women's second seed Aryna Sabalenka -- playing just her second tournament since winning the Australian Open -- headlined Friday's second-round action. Sabalenka, still barred from playing under her native flag of Belarus because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, next faces Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko, who beat 29th-seeded Croatian Donna Vekic 2-6, 6-2. 6-2.
She fended off five break points -- despite three double faults -- to hold serve in the fifth game and broke Rogers to pocket the set. "There were some tough moments in the match, tough break point saves I'm happy that I managed to make it through," Medvedev said."Second set I could have done better on return a few times to maybe make my life easier, but he also played some great points."
