Tennis: Del Potro survives qualifier Basilashvili scare in Shanghai


(Reuters) - Juan Martin del Potro saved four break points in the decider to battle past Georgian qualifier Nikoloz Basilashvili on Monday and reach the Shanghai Masters second round. Attacking Del Potro's serve at 4-4 in the third, Basilashvili earned four chances to break and serve for the match. South Korea's Chung Hyeon eased past world number 13 Roberto Bautista Agut, last year's runner-up, 6-4 6-3 to equal the best victory of his career. World number 60 Chung, who beat David Goffin when the Belgian was ranked 13th in Montreal this year, next faces Richard Gasquet. American qualifier Frances Tiafoe stunned Benoit Paire 6-4 6-4 and fired a warning to the experienced players on the Tour.
