In Miami, there are many indications of a final between the two top seeded players Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Medvedev only had small problems in the 6: 4 and 6: 3 against Frances Tiafoe at the beginning of the second set when he fell behind with a break. The Russian meets Roberto Bautista Agut in the quarter-finals, who wassuccessful against John Isner with 6: 3, 4; 6 and 7: 6 (7).
Stefanos Tsitsipas successfully completed the next night shift. Tsitsipas defeated Lorenzo Sonego 6: 2 and 7: 5 after he had to go over three sets in the previous match against Kei Nishikori. Tsitsipas is now playing against Hubert Hurkacz. The Pole is slowly developing into a Canadian fright, after Denis Shapovalov also eliminated Milos Raonic with 4: 6, 6: 3 and 7: 6 (4).
Korda also defeats Schwartzman
Sebastian Korda continues to present himself sensationally. The 20-year-old American fought a big fight with Diego Schwartzman, from which he emerged as the winner 6: 3, 4: 6 and 7: 5. The next hurdle will be even more difficult for the son of Petr Korda: It goes against Andrey Rublev .
The last quarter-finals are contested by Jannik Sinner and Alexander Bublik. Two players who have never come this far at the ATP Masters 1000 level.
