Jannik Sinner he has earned the opportunity to take revenge with Carlos Alcaraz from the semifinal loss 11 days ago in Indian Wells. At the Miami Open, the second Masters 1000 category tournament of the American hard court tour, the Italian was planted this Wednesday among the top four after defeating Emil Ruusuvuori 6-3, 6-1, in 74 minutes.
The match was suspended for two hours as a result of the rain. The score was already one set and 2-0 for the transalpine.
The regularity in the results of Sinner ensures his return to the ‘top10’ unless Karen Khachanov is crowned on Sunday in the center of Hard Rock Stadium. The Russian will play the quarterfinals tomorrow against the Argentine Fran Cerúndolo.
The tennis player awaits the winner of the match in the penultimate round on Friday that Alcaraz and the local Taylor Fritz will play and that will close the day at the central Florida tournament.
Jannik has taken the measure of Ruusuvuori, whom he had defeated in the previous four. The fast surface of Miami suits Simone Vagnozzi’s pupil well, not in vain was he planted in the fight for the title in the 2021 edition. The champion was finally the Pole Hubert Hurkacz.
Sinner already debuted his list of crowns this season by winning the Open 250 in Montpellier. It was his seventh wound as a professional.
