UPDATE 1-Tennis-Auger-Aliassime outguns Tsitsipas at Indian Wells
While the outcome is an upset on paper, Auger-Aliassime held a 3-0 advantage over Tsitsipas when they met as juniors. Next up for last month's Rio Open finalist is either Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka or Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut, who play their second-round match later on Saturday.
American qualifier Marcos Giron battled back to down 23rd seed Alex de Minaur 1-6 6-4 6-2. Playing in just his fourth ATP tournament, the Southern California native settled down after a shaky first set to dispatch the Australian.
The 25-year-old will be a heavy underdog when he faces either countryman Sam Querrey or Canadian Milos Raonic, two of the biggest servers at the tournament, in the third round. (Reporting by Rory Carroll; editing by Tony Lawrence)
