The quarterfinals of the 2024 ATP1000 Miami Masters have all been released, and the top four seeded players have all successfully advanced. It is worth mentioning that in the next quarter-finals, Spanish star Alcaraz will once again usher in a revenge battle. At the same time, Mr. Mei will also start his own road to defending his title. The new Australian Open champion Sinner was the first to advance to the semifinals, and he is also eyeing the champion of this station. In short, this Miami Masters can be described as a crowd of demons dancing and full of highlights.
Players who advance to the quarterfinals:
Alcaraz, Sinner, Medvedev, Zverev Jr., Dimitrov, Jarry, Maurorjan, Mahachi. So far, the top 4 seeded players of the tournament have all successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, and there has been no big upset.
And in the next quarter-finals, there will be a big match: Alcaraz vs Dimitrov. Previously, the two had met four times, with Alcaraz holding the lead with 3 wins and 1 loss. The most recent meeting was in the R16 round of 2023 ATP1000 Shanghai, where Alcaraz lost 7-5 2-6 4-6 to Dimitrov.
Although Arca came out of the slump, breaking a nearly eight-month title drought at the Indian Wells Masters. However, Dimitrov was no slouch either. Once ranked third in the world, Dimitrov looks set to make a second spring in the 2024 season, beating Rune at ATP 250 Brisbane to break a six-year title drought and return to the top 10. Therefore, this semi-final battle is very important for both Alcaraz and Dimitrov.
What's more worth mentioning is that this year's Miami Masters is also known as the most anticipated tennis tournament. In addition to Alcaraz's revenge match, there is also the battle for Mr. Mei's title defense and the first title of the Sinner Impact Tournament.
May was always last season's winner (in 2023, Medvedev won 7-5 6-3 Sinner). Heading into the new season, Medvedev continued his excellent form, reaching the singles finals of the Australian Open and the Indian Wells Masters. Therefore, for Mr. Mei, he still has a good chance to achieve the first Masters title defense of his career.
Italy's rising star Sinner also has a good record, having been a two-time runner-up (2021, 2023), as well as this year's Australian Open Grand Slam champion and Rotterdam 500 champion. It is said that there are no more than three things, and Sinner will also attack the first singles title of the individual competition.
In the first quarter-finals, Sinner defeated Czech player Makhac 2-0 in straight sets to advance to the semifinals.
