Zverev beats Brooksby at Indian Wells opener

Alexander Zverev survived a stern challenge from American Jenson Brooksby to open his campaign for a third ATP Masters 1000 trophy of the season at Indian Wells on Sunday.

The German third seed overcame the 20-year-old home hope 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 in one hour and 48 minutes.

Zverev set a third-round showdown with former World No. 1 Andy Murray, an earlier winner over Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
