The 21-year-old Australian Alexei Popyrin beat another young star, Jannik Sinner from Italy, in two sets in the second round of the Madrid Open on Wednesday.
Popyrin, 76th place in the world, took that first set at the tie-break with 7: 5 and broke the Sinner serve three times in the second set.
Popyrin’s reward is a round of 16 with Rafael Nadal, who wants to win his sixth Madrid Open title.
