While the Women's Draw produced a lot of shocks, the Men's Results at the Western & Southern Open were more clean cut on Sunday night with Stefanos Tsitsipas in particularly getting through his first test against Kevin Anderson in New York.

Tsitsipas saw off the returning Anderson in a 6-1, 6-3 victory to reach the Third Round of the Western & Southern Open. His dominance showed with him breaking serve four times and saving all three break points he faced.
He put pressure on Anderson by attacking his second serve and also took advantage of unforced errors to produce a clinical display.
Next up will be John Isner or John Millman with the former seeing off his doubles partner Hubert Hurkacz who he had teamed with 24 hours prior to defeat reigning Australian Open finalists Max Purcell and Luke Saville but they were on opposite ends of the court this time.
He claimed victory 7-5, 6-4 with a leaping backhand overhead to seal the deal as the World No.21 made it through in the end.
As did David Goffin who had Kim Clijsters who pulled out of proceedings this week supporting him as he defeated Borna Coric 7-6(6), 6-4 to reach the third round.
He reached the final last year and will hope to go one better this time around and after taking a 5-0 H2H lead over Coric as a result of that win, who says he won't?
