Tiafoe Gets Revenge on Cobolli
Frances Tiafoe took revenge against Flavio Cobolli with a dominant 6-1 6-2 win in Indian Wells after losing the Acapulco final to him last week. Earlier in the tournament, he also defeated Jenson Brooksby.
Tiafoe struggled for results during this stretch last season and did not win multiple matches on tour until April.
However, he has produced more consistent results this year, reaching the third round at the Australian Open, the quarterfinal in Delray Beach and the final in Acapulco.
Tiafoe holds a 4-10 record in Round-of-16 matches at Masters events, with three of those wins coming at home tournaments, including Indian Wells in 2023.

Zverev Advances After Tough Fight
Alexander Zverev battled past Brandon Nakashima 7-6 5-7 6-4 in a tough third-round match in Indian Wells. Both players served 15 aces and were broken only once, but Zverev proved more composed in the key moments.
He is now one win away from matching his best result at the tournament. Zverev has played the main draw here ten times and reached the quarterfinal twice.
Earlier this season, the German suffered a few disappointing defeats, including a loss to Carlos Alcaraz from a winning position at the Australian Open and a second-round exit to Miomir Kecmanovic in Acapulco.
Overall, Zverev has cleared the third-round stage in four of his ten appearances here, reaching the quarterfinal in 2021 and 2024 and the fourth round in 2016 and 2023.
