Chocolate-loving Dominic Stricker caused a major upset at the US Open by knocking out seventh seed Stefanos Tsitsipas.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old qualifier from Switzerland, ranked 128 in the world, stunned two-time grand slam finalist Tsitsipas with 7-5 6-7 (2) 6-7 (5) 7-6 (6) 6-3 victory to reach the third round.<\/p>\n

Stricker is a former French Open junior champion who recently admitted his coach had told him to cut down on chocolate and cookies but it was Tsitsipas who was left feeling sour after a four-hour slog on the Grandstand Court.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I came out today pretty well today and felt good from the first set,\u201d said Stricker.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver four hours it was a tough battle and I\u2019m just super happy right now. I\u2019m going to enjoy the rest of the day and recover tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a great day for me and such a great win. It gives me a lot of confidence. I believe a lot in me now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remarkably, Stricker could have been on the plane back to Bern last week having faced a match point in the second round of qualifying.<\/p>\n

He has now achieved his best result at a grand slam, having bettered his run to the second round at Wimbledon earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

Tsitsipas served for the match at 5-3 in the fourth set, and the Greek said: \u201cThat hasn\u2019t happened to me before. It\u2019s the first time for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsually I\u2019m much tougher mentally, and I have shown it by coming back. Even though sometimes I get broken serving for the match, let\u2019s say, I still find ways in the tie-break or perhaps in the fifth set. Today was not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Second seed Novak Djokovic is safely through to round three after demolishing Spain\u2019s Bernabe Zapata Miralles.<\/p>\n

The Serbian, chasing a 24th grand slam title, dropped just six games in a 6-4 6-1 6-1 victory.<\/p>\n
