Miami Master 1000: the semi-final is played Sinner (n.3 in the world)-Medvedev (n.4)
1-0 LIVE
Two months after the final in Melbourne Jannik Sinner and the Russian Daniil Medvedev, defending champion in Florida, will compete tonight in the semi-final in Miami. With the success in the quarterfinals against the Czech Tomas Machac, Sinner collected the twentieth victory in this first part of the season which sees him projected to overtake the n.2 position in the ATP ranking occupied by Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard was eliminated by Grigor Dimitrov, the 32-year-old Bulgarian ranked number 12 in the world.
Sinner - who has lost only one match in 2024, earlier this month in the semi-final of the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells against Alcaraz - comes on the strength of a constant performance: four tournaments played in the season and four semi-finals. Tonight's match between Sinner and Medvedev will be the remake of the final of twelve months ago, won by the Russian, but also that of the last act of the Australian Open in January, signed by the blue. The 28-year-old Muscovite has a 6-4 lead in the overall result of the direct matches but the Italian has prevailed in the last four. In Miami, among other things, Sinner boasts two finals: in 2021, beaten by the Polish Hurkacz, and in 2023, stopped by Medvedev. Since then, Sinner has always won: in Beijing, Vienna, at the ATP Finals in Turin and in the final at the Australian Open, overcoming a two set deficit.
