Here\u2019s a summary of the action:<\/p>\n
\u27a1\ufe0f In the day\u2019s big upset, world No.148 Nishesh Basavareddy stunned No.7 seed Taylor Fritz<\/a> on Court Suzanne-Lenglen 7-6(5), 7-6(5), 6-7(9), 6-1 in the biggest match of the 21-year-old wildcard\u2019s career. \u201cWhat a match,\u201d Basavareddy said afterwards.
