The rain has been able to lend a hand this Sunday to stop the drip of seeds eliminated in the Masters 1.000 on hard court Miami (Florida). The overwhelming knockout suffered by the Dane Holger Rune20 years old and world No. 7, against Fabian Marozsan (6-1 and 6-1 in just 59 minutes!) was the latest setback suffered by the favorites of the American tournament, who already experienced a dark day on Saturday with several surprising and unexpected defeats.
Andrey Rublev (5th seed), Tomas Etcheverry (29º), Alexander Bublik (17º), Stefanos Tsitsipas (10º), Tommy Paul (13th) and Frances Tiafoe (21st) fell in the 2nd round, all on the part of the draw Jannik Sinnerwho only has one seed left on his way to the semifinals, the Dutch Tallon Greek track (25th), precisely his rival in the 3rd round.
Tennis players without so much name have cleared the Italian’s route to the semifinals, but Sinner himself is in trouble in his match against Griekspoor, another of those supporting actors capable of being protagonists if the day is right, as is the case.

The Dutchman won the first set 7-5 and the second set was tied (3-3) when the rain appeared and forced the matches to be temporarily suspended. Unlike Friday and Saturday, the forecast this time is more optimistic and it is expected that activity will not take long to resume.
This break could have benefited Jannik, who will have at least a while to reconsider and try to get things back on track when the action returns to the center court of the Hard Rock Stadium.
The serve is one of the weapons of the Dutch tennis player Tallon Griekspoor, 27 years old and world number 26
