Jannik Sinner raced through the Miami quarterfinal in straight sets, defeating Frances Tiafoe 6-2, 6-2 in a 71-minute match. (atptour.com) Sinner lost just nine points on serve and finished the match with a TDI Performance Rating of 9.65, figures the ATP described as well above the Tour average. (atptour.com) Alexander Zverev overpowered Francisco Cerúndolo 6-1, 6-2 in 65 minutes to reach the semis, marking his first time reaching both Indian Wells and Miami last four in the same season. (atptour.com) Zverev landed 76% of first serves and won 84% of those points while converting four of seven break points, a serving performance the ATP said helped him concede almost no momentum to Cerúndolo. (atptour.com) The semi-final projection now pits Sinner and Zverev against each other with Sinner holding a 7-4 head‑to‑head lead and the matchup scheduled for Friday, March 27 (not before 7 p.m. local time) on the Miami semis card. (atptour.com) Sinner described Miami as his last hard‑court tuneup before switching to clay, a transition the ATP noted as part of his tournament comments; analysts have flagged that timeline when parsing his shot selection in the highlights. (atptour.com) Zverev publicly framed his recent change toward a more aggressive approach as “if it pays off fast, it’s even better,” and outlets have traced that shift to a tactical switch he made late last season to adapt to ball and court conditions. (atptour.com) Extended replays and official highlight packages from TennisTV and the Miami Open are already online for both quarterfinals, giving fans and analysts immediate clips to study serve placement, first‑strike patterns and transition play ahead of the clay swing.
