Opposed to the striker of Andrey Rublev and Andy Murray, Jannik Sinner did not experience any particular difficulties in eliminating Tomas Machac and reaching the last four of the Masters 1000 in Miami.
Fourth participation in the Miami Masters 1000 and third semi-final for Jannik Sinner! The Florida tournament is the Masters 1000 which has been the most successful for him since the start of his young career, and the 22-year-old Italian proved it again this Wednesday. The world No. 3 won 6-4, 6-2 in 1h32 against No. 60 Tomas Machac. The 23-year-old Czech was nevertheless announced as a formidable opponent, since he had notably eliminated Andrey Rublev and Andy Murray in the 32nd and 16th finals. But the one who had never gone beyond the second round in Masters 1000 until then could do nothing against the winner of the Australian Open, whom he faced for the first time. Broken at the start of the match by Sinner, he nevertheless managed to come back in stride (1-1), but after saving two break points at 2-2, he ended up giving up his serve once again at 3- 3. The Italian then concluded the set without trembling.
A rematch of the Australian Open final against Medvedev?
In the second, Machac saved two break points from the start, but at 1-1, the Italian managed to take his serve, before putting it back at 3-1. There was then no more match, and Sinner calmly finished the match at 5-2 on his second match point. The world No. 3 has already won his twentieth victory of the season (for only one defeat, in the half at Indian Wells against Alcaraz). He will face for a place in the final the winner of the match between Daniil Medvedev (who had beaten him in their first six matches, but lost the last four, including finals in Beijing, Vienna and the Australian Open) and Nicolas Jarry (who won their only confrontation, on the turf of ‘s-Hertogenbosch in 2019), who face each other during the night session. As for Machac, he will jump up the rankings to find himself around 43rd place. Now we’ll see if he can shine on clay, having been eliminated in the first round of Roland-Garros qualifying by Lucas Pouille last year.
