'I'm very happy to win this game, it means a lot to me, it's the first time in my career that I've reached the semi-finals at the Hard Court Masters, so it makes me feel good and I'm glad it happened in Miami.' Rudd said after the game, "I've felt good in training and in games over the last few weeks, and of course I want to be able to continue to be in that good shape. Today was the toughest game I played in this tournament and I know that Sasha (Zverev) is not his best level today, so I seized the opportunity, I was very focused in the game, although I was in a bit of a slump in the second set, I maintained my concentration and the serve in the first and third sets was also good, I think it was the key to my win. ”
Serendolo
Ruud's opponent in the semi-finals will be Argentine black horse Celendolo, who received a retirement salute from the latter in a 4-1 match against Italy's Cinna.
In a post-match interview, Sinar revealed that the blisters on his feet made it impossible for him to continue playing: "I couldn't move, in the last set of the game against Nick (Kyrgios), I felt the pain of blisters, today I insisted on playing, but it was still too painful, especially when I moved and slid, the blisters on my feet rubbed against my shoes. ”
It is worth mentioning that Cerundolo is currently ranked 103rd in the world, which is also the first time in his career to play in the ATP 1000 Masters men's singles main tournament, and he has also become the first male player to play in the ATP 1000 Masters final for the first time after Yan novitz reached the final of the Paris Masters in 2012.
