Ignacio Buse Stuns Joao Fonseca, Reaches First ATP 500 Quarterfinal

Buse rallied after dropping the opening set, beating world no. 38 Fonseca 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 at the Rio Open in Rio de Janeiro. The 21-year-old Peruvian reached his first ATP 500 quarterfinal, earning his best tour-level win outside Davis Cup and a third career top-50 scalp. The comeback lifts him to a live career-high No. 74 in the rankings.
