Indian Wells: Stenaos Tsitsipas seals comeback win over Fabio Fognini
World number three Stephanos Tsitsipas recovered from a shaky start by defeating Italian Fabio Fognini 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Tuesday and reached 16th place for the first time in Indian Wells.
Fognini got off to a strong start by breaking Tsitsipas in the first game and breezed through the opening set thanks to his brilliant return of serves.
But French Open runner-up Tsitsipas clawed his way back into the contest on the back of a strong first serve to win the second set and force a decider.
The Greek second seed then completed the comeback victory to seal his place in the next round against Alex De Minaur, who defeated Cristian Garin in their third-round match.
