Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Nenad Zimonjic made a miraculous comeback against Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan 4-6, 6-1, 14-12 in the quarter-finals of the BNP Paribas Open on Wednesday. The No. 8 seeds were down 2-9 in the Match Tie-break, but saved seven match points in a row (eight total) before securing victory in 75 minutes.

“We tried to focus on each point, down 2-9,” Roger-Vasselin said. “Of course, we didn’t believe we could win, but this is the beauty of the sport. We kept trying every point and we got through. Amazing feeling.”

“It’s our first tournament together,” Zimonjic added. “There is no better test than playing against the Bryans. They are unbelievable frontrunners. We played a great second set, and this [Match Tie-break] was just a miracle, the way we pulled it out.”

The winners will face Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut in the semi-finals.

“Three Frenchmen on the court, we all know each other quite well,” Roger-Vasselin said. “It’ll be a good fight. It’ll be my first time on Stadium 1 so I’ll look forward to that.”

Herbert/Mahut won an All-French confrontation to advance to the final four, downing Jeremy Chardy and Fabrice Martin 6-1, 7-5.

Novak Djokovic avenged the only blemish on his 2016 record on Wednesday at the BNP Paribas Open. And he did it quickly. In one hour and five minutes, the Serb bypassed Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 6-3, 6-3 to move into the quarter-finals.

Djokovic, the defending Indian Wells champion, was precise in the desert. The World No. 1 won only four points on Lopez’s serve during the first set, but they all came at once – when Djokovic earned a break.

Last month in Dubai, Djokovic retired against Lopez after losing the first set because of an eye infection. The four-time Indian Wells champion is now 19-1 on the year.

On Tuesday, Rafael Nadal called Sascha Zverev “a future No. 1.” But a day later, the Spaniard showed that in the present, he still rules.

No. 4 seed Nadal saved a match point in overcoming the 18-year-old German 6-7(8), 6-0, 7-5 in the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open on Wednesday, winning the final 15 points. The three-time Indian Wells champion (2007, 2009 and 2013) still has a chance to reach his 100^th tour-level final (67-32).

“A great victory, as I said before. I’m very happy about it,” Nadal said. “I am especially happy about the mentality on court, the spirit of fight during the whole match, believing that I can win a match during the whole time even in the tougher situations.”

Zverev had a chance to become the youngest man to make the Indian Wells quarter-finals since Michael Chang and Andre Agassi in 1989. Serving at 5-4 in the deciding set, he was a point away from notching his biggest career win. But on match point, Zverev missed a forehand volley.

“I missed probably the easiest shot I had the whole match,” he said.

The miscue took a heavy toll on Zverev, who seemed to lose his spark after letting slip the opportunity to claim his first Top 10 victory.

“It was a great match. Rafa did what he does best; he was fighting. He’s known for that,” Zverev said. “I still had chances to win. I had an easy shot at match point and I missed it. I’m out and he’s in the quarter-finals.”
