British number one Cameron Norrie came from behind to beat Japanese qualifier Taro Daniel on Sunday and reach the last 16 at Indian Wells.<\/span><\/p>\n The 10th seed was a set and 4-1 down in California but won the next five games before clinching the second set.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The 2021 champion, 27, then saw out the decider to claim a 6-7 (5-7) 7-5 6-2 win over the US-born Daniel, 30.<\/span><\/p>\n “I’m happy to be riding the wave right now but I still have a lot of things to work on,” said Norrie.<\/span><\/p>\n The world number 12 now has 20 wins this season and upset top seed Carlos Alcaraz to <\/span>win his fifth overall ATP title<\/span><\/a> at the Rio Open last month.<\/span><\/p>\n Norrie’s only previous Masters 1000 title came at Indian Wells in 2021 and his latest visit will continue against either the sixth seed Andrey Rublev of Russia or France’s Ugo Humbert.<\/span><\/p>\n “It was not the prettiest of matches today, but I’ll take it,” Norrie added.<\/span><\/p>\n “I should have won that first set. [I had] lots of chances and I think it carried over a bit into the second set.<\/span><\/p>\n “But I was able to really play point for point and then really come back and play some of my best tennis.”<\/span><\/p>\n Alcaraz is again the top seed in California and he beat Australia’s Thanasi Kokkinakis 6-3 6-3 to set up a third-round clash with Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor.<\/span><\/p>\n The 19-year-old Spaniard must win the title to regain the world number one spot from Serb <\/span>Novak Djokovic, who withdrew<\/span><\/a> as he is unable to enter the US because he is not vaccinated against Covid-19.<\/span><\/p>\n Chilean qualifier Cristian Garin shocked Norway’s Casper Ruud 6-4 7-6 (7-2) to hand the world number four another setback in a disappointing season.<\/span><\/p>\n But there were no worries for the seventh seed, Denmark’s Holger Rune, who beat American Mackenzie McDonald 7-5 6-3 while the ninth seed, Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz, beat Australia’s Alexei Popyrin 6-3 6-3.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
