Kevin Anderson
South Africa’s Kevin Anderson upset No. 1 seed Dominic Thiem to reach the quarterfinals of the Citi Open event in Washington D.C. on Thursday night.
The 6-foot-8 ATP World Tour veteran saved a match point to win 6-3, 6-7 (6), 7-6 (7) in 2 hours and 46 minutes. Anderson is now 6-0 vs. the No. 7 player in the world.
“It feels great. I’ve worked really hard and committed myself to playing the kind of tennis I want to play. I could do that on the practice court and sometimes struggled to bring it to the match court, but now I’m succeeding with that more often,” said the 45th-ranked Anderson after the match.
Anderson will play Yuki Bhambri for a spot in the semifinals. Bhambri upset defending champion Gael Monfils on Wednesday night.
