Carlos Alcaraz is facing Grigor Dimitrov in quarterfinals of the Miami Masters 1000. He does this in a tournament where he maintains the good sensations he delivered a few days ago in Indian Wells and where, as before, he seeks to win his second title.
Good proof of that possibility was once again left in the round of 16 this Tuesday. Of them lost a clear double 6-3 to Lorenzo Musetti, in a duel against the talented Italian players, called to consolidate himself in the relevant positions on the circuit in the short time ahead. however, Alcaraz He gave no option to his rival, whom he dominated in every aspect to achieve another victory this season.
They will go nine in a row for him, after winning the title a few days ago and the three he won in Florida. Alcaraz is not only winning matches, but he is advancing by playing great tennis and showing himself to be a match for his rivals. He knows that he has a good choice to continue to increase his record, without Novak Djokovic in the tournament, although with Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev present as dangerous rivals.
The Spaniard still has to think about them, as his immediate goal is to face the quarterfinals against an important rival such as Grigor Dimitrov. As in the case of Musetti, but more perfect, the Bulgarian is a player who has completely mastered strategy, with a one-handed backhand game from the back of the court being one of his hallmarks. He knows what it’s like to play big-time matches, like these in the quarterfinals.
Dimitrov is usually an irregular player, although this has disappeared in recent times. Twelfth in the rankings, he is having an impressive start to the season, with a title in Brisbane (he beat Holger Rune in the final), a final in Marseille (Ugo Humbert avoided his title) and the only slip was a loss in the third round of the Australian Open against Nuno Borges. Therefore, with another great result already achieved in Miami, he seeks to take another step.
will try to stop it an Alcaraz in brilliant shapewith options to continue fighting for it ‘Sunshine Double’ and add a second title this season. It didn’t get off to a good start for him, even though he reached the quarterfinals at the Australian Open, as he didn’t fully join the American clay court tour in February. However, the Murcian regained sensations and confidence on the hard court in the month of March where he will leave great tennis.
Will try to prove it against Dimitrov, who he leads 3-1 head-to-head. He beat him at Paris-Bercy 2022, at Madrid 2023 and at Queen’s 2023, on hard indoor, clay and grass respectively. However, Alcaraz lost the last match between the two, in the round of 16 on the hard court at the Shanghai Masters 1000 last year, 5-7, 6-2 and 6-4. He will try to remove the thorn.
