Three minutes a day to know about tennis in the world. Hello fans, today is Friday, April 1, 2022. Tune in to the news afternoon report provided by Tennis House.
This morning, Beijing time, the ATP1000 Miami Masters ended the two semi-finals in the first half. Russian Medvedev, who can return to the world's number one throne with just one more win, suffered heat stroke cramps in the second set and eventually lost 6-7 (7) 3-6 to defending champion Poland's Hulkach, missing the final four. As a result, Djokovic held the world number one with a slight advantage of 8420 to 8410 points, 10 points, ushering in his 364th week on the throne.
The winning Master Hu will face 18-year-old Spanish rising star Alcaraz in the semi-finals. The latter showed tenacity in their showdown with Serbian Kekmanovic, winning 6-7(5) 6-3 7-6(5) and reaching the "Sunshine Doubles" Semifinals back-to-back.
In this match, Alcaraz once fell behind 3-5 in the tiebreaker seven, and his life was hanging by a thread. However, he rose to his senses and won four consecutive points to steal the victory 7-5 with a small score. After reaching the semi-finals, Spain's rising star's real-time world rankings reached 14th, continuing to set a new record. Tomorrow, Beijing time, the men's singles semifinals in Miami will be staged successively. Specific matches: top half, Hulkach vs Alcaraz, bottom half, Veliko Cerundoro vs Rude.
Women's arena. This morning Beijing time, WTA1000 Miami women's singles Miami began the women's singles semifinals competition. The first four-time Grand Slam champion and Japan's Naomi Osaka to reverse the three-game losing streak and Olympic champion Bencic 4-6 6-3 6-4, after last year's Australian Open, reached the tour final for the first time.
The second semi-final between Svatek and local player Pegura played at around 10:00 a.m. Beijing time this morning. The Polish girl continued the previous fiery state, 6-2 first to the next city. As of press time, the second set of matches is still in progress.
Let's focus on Kyrgios again. In the fourth round of the miami match with Italian rising star Sinar, the Australian bad boy was mad again, he was not inferior, insulting the referee, wrestling the racket... on the spot by the referee, penalties, lost the game. Within two days, the ATP's additional penalty came. The penalty for foul language is $5,000; the penalty for two violations of sportsmanship is $5,000 each; and the verbal abuse of the referee is fined $20,000, for a total of $35,000.
Coupled with a $10,000 fine during the Australian Open and a $25,000 fine at Indian Wells, Kyrgios has been fined $700 million so far this season, surpassing Zverev Jr.'s $65,000 and topping the ATP player fines list.
Finally, let's guess and recognize. The picture below shows a player playing soccer. Without prompting, can you recognize who he is?
Guess last time, the golfer gave the correct answer. That's right, the person in the picture is the world's number one Djokovic.
