Tennis: Australian Jordan Thompson has upset world number number 4 Holger Rune.
Aussie Jordan Thompson upsets No. 4 Rune | 01:22 Jordan Thompson is well-versed at upsetting Andy Murray at the Queen’s Club, but his progression against the Scottish legend on Wednesday was not one he celebrated with great joy.
Thompson was mindful his rival was in significant pain from the infancy of a match in which the Australian won 18 of the 26 points during their 23 minutes on court and proceeded to try to move Murray as much as possible, a tactic he learned from watching the 37-year-old play.“He is a great champion, a grand slam champion who has won this tournament maybe five times and it is probably one of his favourite courts, so it is disappointing to see.
Hijikata reached the quarterfinals of an ATP Tour 500 tier event for the first time with a tough 7-6 7-6 victory over Italian Matteo Arnaldi, seizing the triumph on his sixth match point. Hijikata was on the verge of slipping out of the top 100 after experiencing a rough patch during the European clay court season, but his effort to qualify and reach the quarterfinals has ensured he will be inside the top 80 when the rankings are released before Wimbledon.
