Australian Jordan Thompson said his thrilling second-round upset of second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas at Indian Wells on Friday provided the latest boost in confidence after a sluggish start to the year.
The 87th ranked Thompson beat the world number three 7-6 4-6 7-6 for his second career win over a top 10 player and first against the Greek in three meetings.
Thompson struggled out of the gate when he fell in the first round of January's Australian Open and suffered early exits in Dallas and Delray in February. To reset he entered an ATP Challenger event in Georgia that he won without dropping a set and rode that momentum into Indian Wells, where he backed up his straight sets first round win over Frenchman Gael Monfils by toppling Tsitsipas."Won a Challenger couple weeks ago and it was good to get those matches under my belt. I came here and got a tricky draw but have come through it.
