Grant on AM.com reports that: "my Indian sources tell me that Sean Thornley won a marathon match from being 0-3 down in the 3rd, played again in +104 F heat. Credit to Sean to dig deep in extreme conditions when all may have seemed lost in the 3rd set which he won 6-4."
This would be made even better by the fact that the no. 2 seed retired in R1, making Sean the highest seed left in his quarter by over 300 places!
