Twitter erupts as Vasek Pospisil shocks World Number 1 Andy Murray

After going 10-23 in 2016 and falling out of the top 100, #Pospisil has re-calibrated.

Plenty of Mark Woodforde's crafty, clever volleying tennis in the Vasek Pospisil win tonight. Looks like a great player/coach pairing 👍🏼

At No. 129, Pospisil is the 2nd-lowest ranked player to upset a No. 1 in a Masters 1000. Only No. 178 Clavet (d. Hewitt) was lower-ranked.

Pospisil on what he did best "Not letting him get into a rhythm…trying to be unpredictable just sticking to the game plan" #ATP #BNPPO17

With the World number 1 knocked out, the top half seems to be very open and we could see a new face reaching the final this time. Hop on, the Indian Wells this year is going to be a wonderful ride
