SINNER-MEDVEDEV, ALL ABOVE
With a masterful performance, full of winners and variations, Grigor Dimitrov you take it semi-final of the Miami Masters. And he does so by eliminating the reigning champion and winner of Indian Wells, as well as the top seed in the seeding, Carlos Alcaraz. 6-2, 6-4 the merciless score for the Bulgarian, who despite the twelve year difference, puts on a show and returns once again to the top 4 of a 1000: among those in the circuit only Madrid is missing from his collection. The match was balanced only in the second set, after a first set in which Dimitrov broke serve twice to one Alcaraz fouled, nervous and unable to react to the rival’s magic. After the initial 6-2, the Spaniard tries to get into the game, recovers a break deficit but at 4-5 loses serve for the fourth time in the match and gives in after an hour and 32 minutes of play. A gift also for Jannik Sinnerwho by winning the tournament will be able to surpass him at No. 2 in the world.
