There are reasons why Roberto Bautista Agut is not a regular regular in the top ten of the ATP world rankings. And he will try to find out these reasons and use them for himself. So Daniil Medvedev spoke before the quarter-finals of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Miami. Well: Medvedev still has to do a little research. Because Bautista Agut threw the number one 6: 4 and 6: 2 out of the competition. For the Spaniard it was the third win in the third match against Medvedev.
With the defeat of the Russian, the last player who has ever won a tournament on the 1000 level has said goodbye. Neither Bautista Agut nor his semi-final opponent Jannik Sinner have entered the list of winners in this category, nor have the four remaining players in the lower half of the tableau: Stefanos Tsitsipas, Hubert Hurkacz, Andrey Rublev and Sebastian Korda.
Sinner had the upper hand in the first quarter-finals against Alexander Bublik from Kazakhstan on Wednesday. The Italian caught up a set deficit in both sets and finally won 7: 6 (5) and 6: 4.
