Stefanos Tsitsipas became the latest casualty on a day already full of upsets, as the fifth seed fell to NextGen star Jenson Brooksby in a Monday night showdown at the BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells.
Brooksby played the game of his life to prevail 1-6 6-3 6-2 in their third round encounter, energizing the home crowd as he displayed some spectacular shot-making. The 21-year old was aggressive yet maintained a level of poise that belied his young career, forcing his higher-ranked opponent to go for shots that resulted in the Greek making numerous errors.
After running away with the first set, Tsitsipas looked to be in complete control. However, Brooksby fought back valiantly, surprising the World No.5 with his resilience and consistency. The rapturous crowd was fully behind the American, who matched the Greek star shot for shot as he rallied from a set down to close out the match after just over two hours.
With the quarter of the draw wide open, the World No.43 will face the winner between Britain's Cameron Norrie and Georgia's Nikoloz Basilashvili for a spot in the quarterfinals.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
