Darian King is the First Player from Barbados to Win an ATP Match


Darian King became the first player from Barbados to record an ATP win on Tuesday in Memphis when he upset No. 5-seeded Bernard Tomic, 6-4, 6-4.

King, a 24-year-old that is currently ranked No.140 in the world, was playing in his second main draw at the ATP-level, and his first since 2015.

The qualifier dropped only 12 points on serve and did not face a break point against Tomic.

“That was a great experience to qualify there but to get a win against a former Top 17 player is a thrill,” King told ATPWorldTour.com. “I’m stoked and hopefully I can continue. I’m glad for this win for Barbados. I trained hard for this moment.”

In other action on Tuesday in Memphis, last year’s runner-up Taylor Fritz defeated No.8-seeded Yen-Hsun Lu, saving a match point to prevail, 4-6, 7-6(4), 7-6(7).

Ryan Harrison, Tim Smyczek, Matthew Ebden and No.7-seeded Steve Darcis were also winners.
