NEW DELHI: Christopher Marquis of Maharashtra upset fourth-seeded A.S. Suresh Krishna of Andhra Pradesh 7-6(8), 6-4 to move into the third round of the boys' under-16 section in the DSCL National sub-junior tennis championship at the DLTA Complex here on Tuesday.

The top seed in the under-14 section, Christopher was in a spot of bother against Amoga Prabhakar of Karnataka, but pulled through in three sets to set up an interesting clash against local lad Prateek Bhambri.
