Earthquake in Montreal as Nishikori topples Tsitsipas!

Incredible Nishikori!

Absent from the circuit for many, many months, the Japanese is slowly trying to get back to a level of quality tennis. Having arrived in Canada with just one victory to his name this season, in the first round of the French Open (against Diallo, 7-5, 7-6, 3-6, 1-6, 7-5), Nishikori is on course for an epic tournament.

He painfully defeated Michelsen in the first round (3-6, 7-5, 6-4), and has just knocked out Stefanos Tsitsipas, ranked 11th in the world, in the second round (6-4, 6-4).

Taking advantage of a Greek who was as feverish as ever, particularly on the backhand, the former world No. 4 delivered a near-perfect match.

Always making his opponent play an extra shot, he blew away a Tsitsipas who was as disappointing as ever.

A surprise qualifier for the Round of 16, he could find himself up against French No. 1 Ugo Humbert or Portugal's Nuno Borges.
