Zverev Strikes Apart Marozsan
Sascha Zverev prevented Fabian Marozsan from recording a hat trick of top-10 wins in Miami with a 6-3, 7-5 win to succeed in the semi-finals.
The German broke early within the first set, and though Marozsan stored issues extremely aggressive, Zverev managed his tennis higher over the 2 units, committing fewer unforced errors and taking part in a extra measured sport.
Whereas Marozsan performed some ill-timed drop photographs, he couldn’t discover a well beyond the fourth seed’s backhand that was firing properly all through the one-hour and 37-minute match.
If he retains taking part in like that, he’ll stand up the rankings in a short time. He all the time rushes you… I believe when all high gamers really feel like they’re in management, they really feel like they handle the match and play the match somewhat bit in their very own favour and in opposition to him, it’s not attainable. That’s why he has an excellent Prime 10 document [4-2]. He’s an unbelievable participant. Zverev on Marozsan.

Highlights
Daring Dimitrov Defeats Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz was a red-hot favorite to seize his first Sunshine Double this yr, however neither the punters nor the bookmakers noticed him working right into a red-hot Grigor Dimitrov on Thursday.
The Bulgarian performed devastatingly, coming by 6-2, 6-4, in 1 hour and 34 minutes to document his second consecutive win in opposition to Alcaraz after his victory in Shanghai final yr.
Pre-match, I made Alcaraz the robust favorite however I assumed the nighttime circumstances would possibly assist Dimitrov a contact as they’d give him a bit extra time on the ball, which is one thing he’s traditionally favored/wanted.
Nevertheless, he didn’t want any of that yesterday. He took the ball tremendous early and stepped in on the returns. His method to going after the ball and transferring ahead was Federer-like, as he fired 24 winners and received 12 of 16 factors on the internet.
I don’t assume I’ve ever seen Dimitrov play like that, maybe glimpses on the Australian Open in opposition to Nadal, but it surely was a superb efficiency from begin to end and jogged my memory of Fededer’s play in 2017. Epic.
I believe general, to win in opposition to him, you need to play at your greatest; that’s simply how it’s. I got here into the match very centered, and I believe it was extraordinarily clear what to do. Generally, simplicity is genius. It’s very, very onerous to do it, particularly if you play in opposition to an opponent like that, however I used to be actually capable of dictate the sport and skim the sport somewhat bit higher than final time. General, I believe an excellent match on my finish and I’m simply glad I completed in straight units. I used to be utilizing each alternative I had. I believe each second serve I had, I used to be attacking it. I used to be ensuring I used to be placing him in a really tough place. I needed to preserve being aggressive, come to the web, transfer the ball round and never let him hit. Dimitrov on how he took aside the world primary.
He performed superb tennis, nearly good. I couldn’t discover options, a approach to make him really feel uncomfortable on the court docket. It was an excellent sport from his facet. I left the court docket pondering that I most likely needed to change my sport somewhat bit earlier, however anyway, I really feel like I performed good tennis—not good, however good. However I’ve a whole lot of frustrations proper now as a result of he made me really feel like I’m 13 years previous. It was loopy. I used to be speaking to my staff saying I don’t know what to do. I don’t know his weak spot. I don’t know something. Alcaraz on going through Dimitrov in God-mode.
