But be careful because the headline has a catch. The #349 in the world is named Yosuke Watanuki and already knows what it's like to be in the top 80 worldwide, although it was difficult to imagine the match he played this early morning against Frances Tiafoe (6-4, 7-6). With a total of 47 winners – compared to just 16 from his opponent – and with Wayne Ferreira in his corner – former coach of the American –, the Japanese caused a surprise to become one of the players with the worst ranking in history to reach the round of 16 of a Masters 1000. In this case, into the round of 16 of Indian Wells 2025. Frances was left with a sour face, arriving in Miami with a season record of 5-5.
