Carlos Alcaraz’s defeat in the semi-final of the Miami Open against Grigor Dimitrov opened up new possibilities for Jannik Sinner who, by winning the tournament, would become ATP No.2 for the first time in his career
Precisely by this result, Sinner remains in the running to reach goal number two in the world. In fact, only if Alcaraz had lost in the quarter-finals to Dimitrov would the 22-year-old from Italy have kept the ranking discussion alive in Miami.
CLAMOROSO A MIAMI 😱

The road is still long, because Sinner will have to conquer the tournament to overtake the Spaniard. The Italian is awaiting a complicated semi-final with Daniil Medvedev, the rival he beat at the Australian Open to win the first Slam of his career.
The Russian won the first six matches, but Sinner found the key to managing the game of the Moscow native and brought home four successes in a row, reducing the score to 4-6 in head-to-head matches.
Daniil Medvedev….
