Sebastian Korda is enjoying his best Miami Open campaign since 2021! The American faced the 9th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round and scored a 7-6, 6-3 victory in an hour and 35 minutes.
Korda claimed ten points more than his opponent and outplayed him behind the first and second serve. Sebastian saved four of six break points and claimed three breaks from four chances earned on the return.
Stefanos pulled the break back in the opening set in the last moment before losing the tie break. The American forged a 4-0 advantage in the second set and brought the victory home in style.
Ο #tsitsipas δε βρήκε λύση στα πρώτα σερβίς του Κόρντα. Έμεινε να κυνηγάει και στα δύο σετ, κάτι που πλήρωσε ειδικά στο 1ο και φεύγει από το Μαϊαμι χάνοντας ευκαιρία για κάτι σπουδαίο.
Έχει ωστόσο λόγους να είναι αισιόδοξος ενόψει της χωμάτινης σεζόν! pic.twitter.com/v1P6nFhs8u

Sebastian tamed his strokes nicely and fired 22 winners and 20 unforced errors. Stefanos stood on a 16-27 ratio, missing equally from both wings and failing to reach the level…
