Stefanos Tsitsipas was beaten 7-6 (0), 4-6, 7-6 (5) by Aussie Jordan Thompson in second-round play at the BNP Paribas Open on Friday.
The second-seeded Tsitsipas had his shoulder taped and the injury appeared to affect his backhand.
Jordan took advantage and attacked the Greek`s backhand while charging in on short balls to earn his second career win over a top-10 player.
He polished off Tsitsipas, the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/other-sports/article/novak-djokovic-holds-on-in-dubai-extends-winning-streak-to-18-23272928" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Australian Open</a> runner-up, in two hours, 37 minutes.
I felt confident, even playing against a top-10 player I felt comfortable in my own skin and what I was doing, and just snuck out a win, Jordan said. It was a great feeling. You could see it on my face at the end of the match. I was overcome with joy.
