A lot of tension in Miami. On and off the court. The thing is Francisco Cerúndolo battled before Karen Khachanov (16°).

For a place in the round of 16 in a very tough duel, the Russian won 6-1 y 5-5 when all the attention went to the stands.

The thing is, in the stands you could see a spectator who was not in good health. Therefore, he waited for a doctor (or an ATP physiotherapist) until he can be seen.

In principle, by decision of the health professionals, the care was inside the stadium so we had to wait. And, already in the resumption, curiously the break of the Argentine, the first in the match. And the closing of the set for him (7-5).

The Argentine is worth highlighting, he arrived after beating Sebastian Ofner (40th) in his debut by 7-6 (2), 6-7 (2) and 6-1.

The Argentine was looking for revenge from the previous edition against Khachanov, who eliminated him in Miami 2023 in the quarterfinals. In addition, the Russian also beat him in Montreal 2022, so he leads the head-to-head with two wins to zero.
