Zverev falls, Swiatek rises at Indian Wells
The Philippine Star
|March 09, 2025
Tallon Griekspoor stunned top-seeded Alexander Zverev 4-6, 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (7/4) in the second round at Indian Wells on Friday, avenging a devastating loss to the German at Roland Garros last year.
-
Zverev, the world No. 2, is the first Indian Wells men's top seed to lose his opening match since Andy Murray in 2017.
It was a cherished win for Griekspoor, who had lost five straight matches — including four last year — to the German.
