Botic Van De Zandschulp of the Netherlands faces Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina looking to build on her massive victory over Novak Djokovic in the previous round. Van De Zandschulp pulled off the biggest upset on Saturday, shocking the tennis world with a 6-2 3-6 6-1 win over the 24-time Grand Slam champion in the second round. The Dutch, who also eliminated Nick Kyrgios 7-6(7) 3-0 ret. in the first round, won 35 points off his first serves and earned five breakpoint conversions, two of which he scored in a dominant third set flurry that completely caught Djokovic off guard. Cerundolo punched his ticket to the round of 32 with a 4-6 7-6(3) 6-1 victory over Mackenzie McDonald of the United States. The Argentina clawed his way back from a set down by outlasting McDonald in a back-and-forth second set and then totally dismantled the American in the deciding set by capturing three service breaks.
