Tsitsipas managed the first and decisive break in the first round in a long service game by de Minaur to win the set, in the second round the Australian was unable to take advantage of early break chances; Tsitsipas, for his part, does. In the end he won 6:4 and 6:3.

"I focused game after game on opening up the pitch and moving forward," said the Greek afterwards.

Tsitsipas has made an exciting round of 16 match clear. Earlier, Carlos Alcaraz had also reached the round of 16 with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Marin Cilic. This leads to a rematch between Tsitsipas and Alcaraz from the US Open 2021: Alcaraz won there in a splendid five-set game - 7: 5 in the tie-break of the fifth set.

Indian Wells winner Taylor Fritz is also in the round of 16 of the Miami Open after beating Tommy Paul 7: 6 (2), 6: 4. Fritz is still suffering from problems with his foot, he twisted his ankle in Indian Wells and can still hear a "click", as he explained. Hubert Hurkacz also won against Aslan Karatsev.

Daniil Medvedev had already won before.

Alexander Zverev is in action today: he will meet Thanasi Kokkinakis in his round of 16 from 18 CEST.
