LOL! good to see one of my Italian players winning in straight sets 64 76(5)
Maybe being a new dad, has made Lorenzo focus more in matches!
Musetti Forza!

If he wasnt well he should have withdrawn,though credit to his opponent he played lights out tennis and deserved his win.

He absolutely did and I'm not saying that Holger would have won if he was well. But he would have put up a fight. Knowing Holger it was obvious that something wasn't right. No spark in his eyes and no passion. And absolutely no communication with his trainers.

As far as I am concerned if any player takes the court they are fit to play., no excuses, of course a player can sustain an injury during a match, that is a different scenario all together.

Another slow start from Sinner in his match against Chris O'Connell, down a break, nearly a double break, ( Cahill barked at him which made him wake up)
Battled back and won the match 64 63, ordinary level from Sinner,.Aussie Chris O'Connell played a good match.

Okay Lorenzo you need to have full focus for this match aganist Charly

Musetti of the one-hander down the early break. You rooting for the Italian in this one?

Well to be fair I like both players, though I cant see him beating Charly, you know I feel Charly turned around his game, at IW, when he turned around the match at the cost of Jannik winning the title has given him the confidence that was lacking, good to see, though I feel Jannik's level has gone down a tad, he will have to improve if he wants to make the final this year and keep his finals points for starters.

Stunning drop. Alcaraz is feeling it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alcaraz gets closer to his first Sunshine Double defeats Musetti 63 63 to reach the QFs in Miami for a 3rd consecutive time
9 consecutvie wins and 13-2 record in Miami
Playing well, looking soo confident
Well Done!

Final set TB between Hurkacz and Dimitrov. Dimi had the advantage, but now looks gassed. Oh, oh...net touch??

 

[Moxie]

Probably net touch, and it gave Dimitrov a break to recover. Plus the change over. Hubie wins this point...5-3 to Dimi. Oooh...now 6-3 to Dimitrov. MP.

 

[Moxie]

Wow, Dimitrov wins it, running on fumes.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alex de Minaur crashes out in the 3rd set to Fabian Marozson 61, after a impressive 2nd set 60, Marozsan continues to impress at Miami

Zverev reached the QFs in IW and Miami in the same year for the first time in his career
