0.59 The approach and willingness to fight on every single point will be the keys to this match. In our opinion, Sinner always starts 50-50 against Alcaraz: on the other hand, the precedents say so, always decided by a point or by some decisive episode.

Good night everyone, e welcome to the LIVE LIVE of the semifinal of the Masters 1000 in Miami, the second of the ATP season, between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. The night at Hard Rock Stadium welcomes the two men of the future who are already present in tennis two weeks after the last one.
The two players didn’t struggle to reach the semifinals, having lost no sets. The Murciano, in particular, left 20 games on the street against the 23 of the South Tyrolean, who for his part has never conceded more than four in a single set to each opponent he faced (Alcaraz a tie-break, with the Serbian Dusan Lajovichad to play it).
This is the sixth ATP-level match between the two, or seventh considering the previous Challenger that the head-to-head officials stubbornly refuse to consider. Just two weeks ago, in Indian Wells, Alcaraz won 7-6(4) 6-3, going on to win the tournament in the final against the Russian Daniil Medvedev, semi-finalist here too (and also, it must be said, with considerable luck at the draw level).
For Sinner there is immediately the opportunity to recover what has not arrived on Californian soil, in an attempt to prevent his opponent from the Sunshine Double. The setting will be different this time: evening session and above all an extra day of rest for Jannik, given that the Spaniard played against the American tonight Taylor Fritz due to the tantrums of the rain and, if you like, an organization that has chosen to stick to television issues, although two out of three sets are used to playing on consecutive days.
The match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will start at 1:00 in the night between Friday March 31st and Saturday April 1st. Have fun with the LIVE LIVE of OA Sport!
