Tristan Boyer, the 242nd-ranked American, stunned fourth seed Dalibor Svrcina of the Czech Republic 7-6(2), 7-6(1) in the quarterfinals of the Dafa News $82,000 Delhi Open Challenger tennis tournament on March 1.
Boyer, 22, displayed resilience in a match marked by eight breaks of serve. Despite Svrcina's attempts to fight back, Boyer's strong serve proved decisive in the tie-breaks.
