A clear thing

South Tyrolean Sinner is the first semi-finalist in Miami

Jannik Sinner was the first player to qualify for the semi-finals of the Masters 1000 tournament in Miami on Wednesday. The world number three, who has already won the Australian Open and Rotterdam this year, defeated Tomas Machac from the Czech Republic 6:4, 6:2 after 91 minutes. 

The 22-year-old Italian will now face either Russia's Daniil Medvedev, seeded No. 3, or Chile's Nicolas Jarry (No. 22).

Earlier, Danielle Collins had already surprisingly reached the women's semi-finals. The 30-year-old US-American is ending her career at the end of this season. The 2022 Australian Open finalist defeated Caroline Garcia (FRA-23) 6:3, 6:2. Collins will now face either Jessica Pegula (USA-5) or Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova (14).
