Alexandra Eala and Arthur Fils pull off major upsets at Miami Open

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The high seeds were falling at the Miami Open on Wednesday.

Soon after unseeded wild card Alexandra Eala stunned No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek in a straight-set women's quarterfinal, men’s top seed Alexander Zverev got bounced by No. 17 seed Arthur Fils of France, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a fourth-round men’s match postponed by rain.

Fils, who beat American Frances Tiafoe in his previous match in a marathon three setter, will face Jakub Mensik in Thursday’s quarterfinals.

In the third set, Fils broke Zverev at 3-3 and kept the German moving.
