“To have a win like that is incredible.” Aussie Jordan Thompson has shocked Stefanos Tsitsipas with a three-set win in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells. 9News
He polished off Tsitsipas, the Australian Open runner-up, in two hours, 37 minutes.
Thompson dropped only two points on serve in the opening set, and sealed the win when a forehand from Tsitsipas missed by the barest of margins, with the ball ruled out by just one millimetre."Obviously, I can't do much about his, he's a big guy and he's got a great serve. I wasn't finding too much rhythm there on return towards the end but snuck one out. I stayed aggressive on serve and very thankful that last ball went wide.
No.10 seed Cameron Norrie advanced to the third round with a 6-2, 6-4 win over qualifier Wu Tung-Lin of Taiwan.
