Jannik Sinner makes history at the Miami Open, surpassing Novak Djokovic’s 24-set Masters 1000 record with a dominant third-round win over Moutet.
The win also saw Sinner equal Novak Djokovic’s record for the most consecutive sets won at the ATP Masters 1000 level, stretching his streak to 24.
Beaten in five sets after leading 2-0 in the Australian Open final, fifth seed Daniil Medvedev stunned World No.1 Jannik Sinner in a five-set thriller in the men's singles quarterfinal at Wimbledon on Tuesday.
Top seeds Indian-Australian pair, currently ranked second in the world, needed a Match Tie-break to advance. The duo overcame Dutch-Australian pair John-Patrick Smith and Sem Verbeek 3-6, 7-6(7-4), 10-7 to reach the last four.
With Wednesday’s win, Murray joined Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in the 30-win club in Miami. The Serbian boasts 44 wins in South Florida while Nadal has 40.
Barty gave nothing away in the "breaker," using her slice backhand to perfection and wrapping up the set when a backhand return by her seventh-ranked opponent sailed over the baseline.
In the first set against Djokovic, Bautista Agut began with very poor tennis, full of unforced errors and without a consistent serve, so that the Serb could overwhelm him in just 35 minutes.
Anderson looked like the favorite heading into the match, having defeated Carreno Busta in all four of their previous encounters.
In the late match, impressive Alexander Zverev, the fourth seed, powered past an out-of-sorts Nick Kyrgios 6-4 6-4 to set up a meeting with Croatian Borna Coric in the last eight.
"I am so tired of hearing that I am number 11 in the world," said a smiling Stephens on Tuesday.
