MIAMI (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) – Sensational at Miami Open: in the Italian night Carlos Alcaraz was eliminated by Grigor Dimitrov to the quarterfinals of final after a match that lasted an hour and 34 minutes and ended with a score of 6-2 6-4. He smiles doubly Jannik Sinner: firstly because he will not find himself facing the Spaniard on his path and secondly because in the event of victory he would overtake his Iberian rival and jump to second place in the ATP rankings, behind the absolute dominator Novak Djokovic. A failed overtaking in Indian Wells but which would materialize if the 22-year-old from San Candido were to raise another trophy to the sky after those already won in 2024 at the Australian Open (first Italian to win in Melbourne and second to triumph in a Slam after Adriano Panatta at Roland Garros in 1976) and at the ATP 500 in Rotterdam.

The match and precedents between Dimitrov and Zverev
Returning to the match, the Bulgarian dominated for large stretches, “punching” the opponent right in front of him Mike Tyson. On the other hand, Alcaraz showed a clear physical and nervous decline and only returned to the match in the second half of the second set, by then too late to attempt recovery. Dimitrov thus reaches the German Alexander Zverev in the semifinals, victorious in two sets against the Hungarian Marozsan. The precedents between the two say 7-1 for the Teutonic, with the Hungarian who after winning the first time, in Basel in 2014, has lost the last seven matches.
