After many days of fighting, the Indian Wells men's singles round of 16 was finally produced. As of press time, because the sky is not beautiful, only two quarterfinals have been played.
Yosuke Mianguan, who made it to the round of 16 with a 500+ qualifying upset, finally stopped his dark horse and lost to Gricospour, the Dutch brother who has performed well this season. On the other side, in the face of Tsitsipas, who had lost three times in the previous meeting, Rune passed the level with two standard scores of 6-4, changing the head-to-head record between the two sides to 4-0.
The quarter-finals are played over two days, so let's take a look at them while some of the matches are still to be played.
[20] Fez VS Giron
[5] Medvedev VS Paul [10]
Both American players made it to the round. Fes, who had a good comeback against Musetti in their last game, should be on a high steam and the other is a repeat of last year's semi-final. So far, Paul has yet to reach the final of the Masters, so can he keep going while May is napping? Mr. Mei enjoyed the benefits of his opponent's retirement in the previous competition, and he is expected to make a breakthrough after reaching the final of this event for two consecutive years?
[11] Sheldon VS Brandon - Nakajima [32]
A homegrown derby will be between two new-generation players, and Shelton, who is in good form, is the favourite, having not given his opponents too many chances in the early rounds.
[3] Fritz VS Draper [13]
In addition to the duel between Acre and Dimi in the second half, the most anticipated match is the battle between the British brother and the American brother, the latter is menacing, the former is the former tournament champion, and it is not surprising who wins.
[9] De Minaur VS Cerundolo [25]
[2] Alcaraz VS Dimitrov [14]
De Minaur and Cerundolo should be expected to be a whirlwind of fast fighting, while Dimitrov's fight with another veteran, Monfils, yesterday was too tragic, and it is doubtful that he will be able to play tomorrow's event with a finger injury, and the odds against the in-form Acre should not be very good.
Unlike the women's singles round of 16, where there are many masters and high-seeded players rarely fall, the men's singles side has lost many of the world's top 10 players, such as Deyo, Zverev, Ruud and Rublev. There are also Tsitsipas, Aliassime, Mahach and many other players who have already won tour titles this season. Will unseeded players be able to progress after the quarter-finals? Let's wait and see!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
