Andy Murray rallied to win an inter-generational battle against teenager Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday, reaching the third round at the Indian Wells Masters along with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev.
Murray, who has touted Alcaraz as a future World No. 1, won 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 to set up a meeting with Germany's Zverev, a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 winner over American Jenson Brooksby. Greece's Tsitsipas advanced in the event with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Spain's Pedro Martinez.
After saving a set point, the Spaniard broke Murray for a second time to take the opening set. In the second set, the former World No. 1 deployed a rare underarm serve on game point for a 2-1 lead, and this time held on.
