Alexander Zverev's season is taking a very negative direction after his defeat to Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open final. The world number 2 – who dreamed of winning his first Major title at Melbourne Park – is still suffering from that clear defeat on the iconic Rod Laver Arena and has not yet recovered.

The top seed Alexander Zverev embraced a short Indian Wells campaign. World no. 2 faced Tallon Griekspoor in the second round and experienced a tough 4-6, 7-6, 7-6 defeat to Tallon Griekspoor in three hours and seven minutes.

Tallon Griekspoor stunned top seed Alexander Zverev 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4) in a 3-hour, 7-minute second-round clash Friday at the BNP Paribas Open. And No. 4 seed Casper Ruud fell to American Marcos Giron in the other big upset of the day.
