Goffin Upsets Wawrinka in 3 Sets to End Skid at Indian Wells

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — David Goffin upset Stan Wawrinka 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (5) to reach the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open, ending the Belgian's 14-match skid against top 10-ranked opponents.

Goffin advanced to the quarterfinals, where he next plays Marin Cilic, who beat No. 8 seed Richard Gasquet, 7-5, 5-7, 6-2 Wednesday, when temperatures hit 91 degrees under cloudless skies in the California desert.

Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams were to play later matches.

Goffin improved to 2-26 against top-10 players, having beaten No. 9 Milos Raonic in the quarterfinals at Basel in 2014.
