Animal

Alexander Zverev shook a shaky start to book his place in the Miami Open fourth round after passing Jordan Thompson 7-5, 6-4 on Monday.

The top seed turned the match on the head after a middle of the match and won eight of nine matches from 1-4 down in the first set.

Thompson has some good victories in tough courts, and he competed into a 3-0 lead in the first set. But Zverev found his track,

Again, Zverev’s serve was the key, and he completed procedures with a 76% first earn profit frequency (32/42) and 77% on other serving (10/13).

Jordan made it difficult for me for sure. He is a quality player. When you are in rhythm he knows how to break [it] a little. So he did very well today. I am satisfied with my level from 1-4 onwards and losing only one game out of [the next] nine. Zverev on his victory over Thommo.

By Minaur Fosil’s Fonseca

Alex de Minaur won a dirty, lung-bumping victory against Joao Fonseca at Miami Open Monday and surpassed the Brazilian teen 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 in a stadium chair Thriller with the Brazilian audience and turned it into a Rio Carnival.

After two hours and 31 minutes with pure baseline displacement, they sealed it with a cheeky camera lens writer: ‘Rio Open :)’.

The mine can run all day, and what he lacks in firepower is his ability to come to many balls with time to save.

In the first set, with the point locked at 5-5, Fonseca roared to life and exceeded the Minaur in a brutal baseline to start the game; Three break points soon followed, and he paid the other to NAB opener.

The Minaur struck back in the other and stormed 3-0 with stone-resisted game when Fonseca’s serving went off a boil. However, Brazilian recovered and was able to settle at 4-4 before they broke when he led 6-5 to catch the second set.

The 10th seed swung early in the decision and released the service in the opening game. Still, you rarely see the Aussie fold (excludes his matches against the elite), and he dug in, sanded out long rally, tested Fonseca’s legs and turned the script to jerk six of the last seven games.

Last night, I think we saw why the Minaur is fighting for Sinner, Alcaraz and Djokovic, why he is so good and why someone outside the top level is in a tough fight.

Fonseca can produce elite tennis in Sports but is not really at the level of the above three yet, which is why he enjoyed lots of success against the Minaur but also why the mine got better by him over three sets. He is super solid, and unless you can play Playstation Tennis as Sinner, he will turn to the finish line.

Next up? Matteo Berrettini, the 29th seed, which sent Zizou Bergs 6-4, 6-4. The Italians have a 2-1 edge in their H2H.

It was a hell of a battle. I knew I came in what to expect. He is not only an extremely talented, dangerous, explosive player, but he plays with so much confidence right now and the audience behind him. Knew I would be up to it, and it would take every ounce of me. I just put my head down and came to work, so I’m very happy with that win. In the end, I think he is a big player, so he will go for many, many pictures that may not be a high percentage. But now he plays with a lot of confidence and makes them. Previously he pulled off some amazing backhands and beat some backhands [down the line]. That forever is so dangerous. I know he is still young; He has played many matches in a row. If I could make this match physical, I would have a greater chance that it would go my way. You can go out there, complain, get rattled and do many different things, but it doesn’t help you win a tennis match. In the end, that’s what I said to myself: ‘It will be a battle not only against the player, against the audience, just put your head down and do the job and try to compete every single point. By Minaur on his winnings.

Other matches of notes

Arthur Fils took out Frances Tiefoe in a roller coaster 7-6 (11), 5-7, 6-2 victory. Files lined up a crazy first set tiebreak-11-9 after saving set points. Tiefoe saved two match points in the second set before leveling, but while he had the audience and an early break in the decision against a cramping file, he lost inexplicably five games in a row because Fils won it 6-2.

Tomas Machac took down the giant-serving Reilly Opelka. The Czech Republic smoked the first set of tiebreak 7-1, which is very impressive against a server like it, and while Reilly’s bombs are back, Machac’s return game was the difference.

Taylor Fritz is powered by Shapovalov 7-5, 6-3. The first set was a scrap, with the Canadian mining that recovered from 2-5 to 5-5, but Fritz can withstand Shapos flashes of shine and locked in for the victory.
