Zverev stunned in Miami in crazy turnaround
No.3 seed Alexander Zverev was sensationally dumped out of the Miami Open second round as Finnish 21-year-old Emil Ruusuvuori claimed his second top 10 win of his career.
Russuvuori bounced back after losing the first set, changing his tactics and overwhelming the German on Saturday (AEDT) to set up a third round meeting with Mikael Ymer.
Zverev may have won last week's Mexican Open and the opening set 6-1 against Ruusuvuori but the tables turned quickly as the Finn produced one of the best displays of his career to date.
The No.83-ranked Finn moved regularly to the net and was aggressive in his approach, leaving Zverev rattled before winning 1-6 6-3 6-1 in a stunning momentum shift.
"I don't even know myself," Ruusuvuori said after the match.
"I wasn't feeling very comfortable in the first set and I was making a lot of unforced errors but slowly in the second I was starting to feel a bit better... Of course, it's one of the biggest wins in my career so it feels good."
He'll next face Ymer, who knocked out No.27 seed Nikoloz Basilashvili.
