In Tennis Paradise, Alcaraz was just inferior to Rafael Nadal, in Miami it is now against defending champion Hubert Hurkacz.

Alcaraz and Kecmanovic delivered terrific tennis over a playing time of 2:23 hours. In the end, the Serb looked like the upcoming winner, but was unable to use a 5:3 lead in the tie-break to win the match. Instead, Alcaraz got the last four points in the match.

Hurkacz helps Djokovic

Hurkacz didn't make it that exciting in the first game of the day. However, the Pole made sure with the 7: 6 (7) and 6: 3 against Daniil Medvedev that Novak Djokovic will remain number one in the world tennis rankings. Medvedev should have made it to the semifinals to regain the lead in the ATP charts.

In the other match of the semifinals today (from 7 p.m. live on Sky) surprise man Francisco Cerundolo and Zverev conqueror Casper Ruud face each other.
