Dimitrov beats top seed Alcaraz in straight sets in Miami quarterfinals

Eleventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov came out strong versus top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz on Thursday night and won 6-2, 6-4 in the Miami Open quarterfinals, his first victory over a top-five player in nearly five years. Fourth-seeded Alexander Zverev, who defeated unseeded Fabian Marozsan 6-3, 7-5, will play Dimitrov in the semifinals Friday. Second-seeded Jannik Sinner will face No. 3 Daniil Medvedev in the other semifinal, a rematch of last year’s final that Medvedev won. Alcaraz, the 2022 champion, entered this tournament off a victory over Medvedev at Indian Wells. But the world’s second-ranked player had trouble finding his game versus Dimitrov and became visibly frustrated numerous times in the first set. Looking for the […]

Top seed Carlos Alcaraz, defending champ Daniil Medvedev advance to Miami quarterfinals

Defending Miami Open champion Daniil Medvedev earned his 350th career match to move into the quarterfinals for a fourth consecutive year, beating Dominik Koepfer 7-6 (5), 6-0 on Tuesday. Top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz also advanced with ease in a 6-3, 6-3 victory over No. 23 seed Lorenzo Musetti. Alcaraz, who defeated Musetti in less than 90 minutes and looked comfortable as ever on the court, said he’s “probably” playing his best tennis since last summer. That ankle injury from last month is no longer a concern, he said. Looking for the best online betting site and Live betting? Visit Heritage Sports “I don’t […]

Anhelina Kalinina rallies to upset Caroline Wozniacki at Miami Open

Anhelina Kalinina was down and almost out Thursday with former top-ranked player Caroline Wozniacki one point away from winning in consecutive sets at the Miami Open. But the No. 32-seeded Ukrainian saved that match point and won the last five games of the second set before taking the third in a 5-7, 7-5, 6-4 triumph in the second round. Wozniacki, who won the Australian Open in 2018 and retired from tennis at the same tournament two years later, returned to the sport last year. She had two children during her time away from the game. Wozniacki reached the quarterfinals in Indian Wells this […]

Simona Halep returns from doping ban in 1st-round loss at Miami

Simona Halep had just lost to Paula Badosa 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the first round of the Miami Open on Tuesday, but she couldn’t help but smile and flash a thumbs up to the crowd as she walked off the court. For Halep, the day was “special” regardless of the result, as it marked the welcome conclusion of an 18-month absence from competition due to a doping ban. The former world No. 1 and two-time major champion tested positive for roxadustat, a banned blood-booster substance, at the 2022 US Open and had not played since. Initially given a four-year suspension — which the […]

Djokovic stunned by ‘lucky loser’ Nardi at Indian Wells

Luca Nardi used a combination of poise and power to stun his boyhood idol and top-seeded Novak Djokovic 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 on Monday night in the third round of the BNP Paribas Open. Nardi, who is ranked No. 123, closed out his huge upset over the No. 1 player in the rankings with an ace. The 20-year-old from Italy dropped his racket and brought his hands to his face almost in disbelief before greeting Djokovic at the net. “This is a miracle,” Nardi stated in an interview after the match on the Tennis Channel. “I’m a 20-years-old guy, 100 in the world, and […]

Novak Djokovic, Coco Gauff advance in Indian Wells

Novak Djokovic made a winning return to the desert, defeating Aleksandar Vukic 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 on Saturday in his first match at the BNP Paribas Open in five years. The 24-time Grand Slam singles champion joined Rafael Nadal as the only players to win 400 matches in ATP Masters 1000 series events. The top-ranked Djokovic is a five-time champion at Indian Wells, tied with Roger Federer for most by a male, but hadn’t played in the event since 2019. “Five years is quite a long time for a professional tennis player, but at the same time playing here the last time in 2019 felt […]

Marta Kostyuk makes San Diego Open quarters in straight sets

Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine, Daria Saville of Australia and Katie Boulter of England advanced to the quarterfinals of the Cymbiotika San Diego Open on Wednesday. Kostyuk continues to build on the form that saw her reach her first major quarterfinal last month at the Australian Open. The sixth seed knocked off the last remaining wild card by beating 18-year-old Taylah Preston of Australia, 6-4, 6-3. For Kostyuk, 21, it was almost like facing a mirror image of herself. “I was playing her for the very first time. She’s still very young. She reminds me a little bit of me,” said Kostyuk, who finished with 25 winners to […]

Andy Murray admits it could be ‘months’ before retirement

Andy Murray stated that he may only have a few months left of his career after defeating Denis Shapovalov in Dubai on Monday. Speaking after the victory, Murray, 36, said: “I probably don’t have too long left but I’ll do as best as I can these last few months. “I still love competing and still love the game but it gets harder and harder to compete the older you get, to keep your body fit and fresh.” Murray’s win over the Canadian was his second of the 2024 season after he endured a torrid start that saw him lose his first four […]
