These are the top seeds eliminated in Friday's session at Indian Wells 2025

An exciting and full of surprises day was experienced this Friday, March 7th at Indian Wells 2025. The biggest disappointment of the day came early from Alexander Zverev, who was defeated by Tallon Griekspoor in a match that was decided in the third set tiebreak. The German had already shown worrying signs during the South American tour, and now he adds a negative result to his record, but he is not the only seed to have fallen.

  • Yulia Putintseva (21)

This was Griekspoor's reaction after defeating Zverev on his seventh match point

Tallon Griekspoor caused the first surprise at Indian Wells 2025 by eliminating the number one seed, Alexander Zverev. The Dutch player won a very close and error-filled match by both players (4-6, 7-6(5), 7-6(4)). Nevertheless, he managed to clinch the victory and defeat the German for the second time, needing seven match points to do so. That's why the first thing he did after securing the win was to write in front of the camera: "Finally!".
