Unreal! Thompson topples Tsitsipas at Indian Wells

INDIAN WELLS: Unseeded Australian Jordan Thompson grabbed one of the biggest wins of his career on Friday (Saturday in Manila), 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.

'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.
