Sinner defeats Alcaraz to set up Miami final with Medvedev FMTNews FMTSports
MIAMI GARDENS: Italy’s Jannik Sinner ended Carlos Alcaraz’s hopes of the “Sunshine Double” and his reign as world No 1, triumphing 6-7, 6-4, 6-2 in their Miami Open semifinal today.
The disappointment for the 19-year-old Alcaraz, the defending champion in Miami and coming off a title at Indian Wells, will be tinged with frustration after he struggled in the third set with leg cramps. Sinner broke again to go 5-4 up and then held for the set to end Alcaraz’s streak of 21 winning sets.Looking in discomfort, he crouched down on his baseline in between points and shot some worried and confused looks to his team in the stands.
Medvedev hit 13 aces and saved four of six break points as the match turned decisively in his favour when he broke Khachanov in the fourth game of the third set. While aware that a very tough test awaits in the final, the Russian said he was capable of beating any player on the tour.
