Qualifier Garin beats Ruud at Indian Wells; Norrie advances

Qualifier Cristian Garin stuns third-seeded Casper Ruud of Norway 6-4, 7-6 (2)

Qualifier Cristian Garin of Chile shocked third-seeded Casper Ruud of Norway 6-4, 7-6 at the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday for his first win over a top-five player in nearly two years.

The 26-year-old Garin improved to 3-1 lifetime against Ruud, a two-time Grand Slam finalist, since they first met on tour in 2019 at Sao Paulo, Brazil. Garin will face either 13th-seeded Karen Khachanov or 23rd-seeded Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the round of 16. Top American woman Jessica Pegula, the No. 3 seed, rallied from a set down for the second consecutive match to beat 26th-seeded Anastasia Potapova 3-6, 6-4, 7-5.

Pegula, who edged Camila Giorgi in her opening match, advances to face either Petra Kvitova or Jelena Ostapenko.
