Grigor Dimitrov beats Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets while also breaking him 4 times in 2 sets. Alcaraz holds one of the best ever win record against Single hand backhand players but that didn't deter Dimitrov from going all out, guns blazing and completely outclassing Alcaraz. Alcaraz, is probably tired of playing and winning so many matches in a row as he had also won the Indian Wells tournament but misses out on the Miami Open.

That just shoots down one of my comments from earlier that Alcaraz is just too
strong for everyone ATM possibly even Sinner. . . and then there is Dimitrov who is
playing super Tennis this season. Just watched the replay, Dimitrov proved in that
match why he was compared 20 years ago to Roger!

Looking forward to the semi finals now, two very appealing line ups, Medvedev
v Sinner, Dimitrov v Zverev. Big question is can Dimitrov reset and repeat?

On the WTA side its Collins v Rybakina, hard to pick a winner here although Rybakina
is favourite at 1.50

That was the best tennis from Dimitrov from the very first second. But also very unusual. Very aggressive. Very often at the net. I have not  usually see anything like that from him. If he plays like that against Zverev in the semi-finals, it will be difficult for Zverev. The two have played against each other eight times so far and Dimitrov has only won once. But now he has a great chance to reach the final with a lot of self-confidence after he beated Alcaraz.

Medvedev vs Sinner

This is going to be a very tough one to actually predict. And this is a game that could go either way for sure. I believe it is going to be very competitive and this is not going to end early at all. Both of the players are very good and also good opponents for each other. But if we look at head to head comparison, Medvedev is going to be the winner. Because in 12 head to head matches he has been able to win eight of them. So that is something to keep in mind.

Dimitrov vs Zverev

I think this is a little easier to predict because Zverev should be the winner in this match. First of all, I believe he is a better player. And secondly, he has been able to win the majority of the head-to-head matches between them. 7 to 2 to be exact.

[bitbollo]

really satisfying victory for Sinner 6-1 6-2.
Now he is one step away from the title.
Well...at this level, "everything is possible" but I think he can now be considered the favorite in all respects.

It's not easy and a bit speculative but it's really worth playing the single games... very nice odds and impressive percentage this year....

[coinlocket$]

He did it again, Sinner managed to beat Menedev again and is in another ATP 1000 final.

If I remember the predictions correctly given that Alcaraz was beaten in the quarter-finals, if he wins the tournament he become the number two in the world for the first time in his career.

Yes, that is right. Sinner would then become number 2, while Medvedev would remain at numberr 4.
Sinner has won the last 5 matches against Medvedev. He is probably becoming his favourite opponent. But Medvedev also made some mistakes in this match that he does not normally make. But Sinner also played very confidently and sovereignly.

I think I would have slightly favoured Zverev too in a way but Zverev could only win
1 set through a tie break, Dimitrov 'seems' to be getting better and better this season.
It must be his mentality  because his talent was always there. Amazing really.

That was an unreal Tennis match from both players but for different reasons, Sinner
right from the first game was on it and was hitting all his spots while Medvedev was
the opposite, he looked powerless with no ideas of how to compete with Sinner.

The final is set and judging by the performance of both players it could be an absolute
cracker of a final with Sinner winning.

This is Grigor Dimitrov's second consecutive victory over Carlos Alcaraz because last year he also succeeded in beating Alcaraz at the Shanghai Masters, and in the final Dimitrov will meet Sinner because in the semifinals Dimitrov also succeeded in eliminating Zverev in a three-set match.
What are Dimitrov's chances of beating Sinner in the final? I quite hope he makes a surprise by beating the Italian, but it looks quite tough because Sinner is back in good form after the defeat at Indian Wells and at the Miami Open he only dropped one set to advance to the final, my prediction is that it will be three sets.

Women's final, Rybakina vs Collins, Rybakina is the favorite but it seems because of her better ranking because overall Collins appeared more convincing here, Rybakina was almost eliminated several times here but in h2h Rybakina is better, a three set match is very possible.

Collins is rumoured to play her last tournament before the maternity leave so she will give her all to win it. I won't even mention that she is playing on home soil. Rybakina, on the other hand, played mostly 3 set matches in Miami and is likely running out of steam. Let's wait and see tonight!

[cryptofrka]

Dimitrov deserves this final, he's been playing in tremendous form recently. Unfortunately for him, so has Sinner.

They played 3 times against each other so far, Sinner's leading 2-1, he won the last 2, both of them on hard, both of them quite easily.
I expect more of the same, Sinner's the perfect player to counter Dimitrov's playstyle even when he's on top of his game.

Dimitrov to win a set @2.05 however is something that looks attractive enough to play.

[coinlocket$]

Yes, that is right. Sinner would then become number 2, while Medvedev would remain at numberr 4.
Sinner has won the last 5 matches against Medvedev. He is probably becoming his favourite opponent. But Medvedev also made some mistakes in this match that he does not normally make. But Sinner also played very confidently and sovereignly.

Fun fact, before been able of beating Medvedv for 5 times, he lost the previous 6.

The young player is not more mature, is still superyoung but I think that for the next 10 years we may have a new era of Nadal-Federer with Alcaraz and Sinner.

The reign Novak is starting to collapse.

We may have Rune also soon at their level but for now he is a step below.

I find it hard to give creditability to the H2H like Medvedev v Sinner for example,
Medvedev is longer playing tennis and Sinner has really entered a new phase of
his career. Its will be more interesting to see the H2H between Sinner and Alcaraz
or Rune because they are all starting their career's around the same time, just my opinion!

Myself anf my Wife are big fans of Sinner and for me also Medvedev but Dimitrov has
been a real sensation over the last couple of weeks and we both agree that we are happy
for either to win, should be a mightily entertaining final.

[coinlocket$]

victory for Sinner!
he has now become the second player in the world in the ATP rankings.

The road to becoming number one is still long but feasible if Djokovic is no longer able to return to what he was in previous years.

Already in the next few months there could be an overtaking, which was unthinkable only a year ago!

[cryptofrka]

I expect more of the same, Sinner's the perfect player to counter Dimitrov's playstyle even when he's on top of his game.

This proved to be the case, quite an easy win for Sinner. Dimitrov didn't play like in recent weeks, probably also because Sinner doesn't really give you that much time to get in the zone.

We're switching to clay now, let's see who will be able to parry Alcaraz now. RG is coming fast, less than 2 months away.

[bitbollo]

it was the easiest match on paper for Sinner, and in fact this prediction was confirmed and it was an easy win for him.
there was practically no match, excellent odds from the start.
the Italian player was also listed at @1.29! He is officially the number 2 of ATP ranking.

[aoluain]

Guys, just like his match against Medvedev it only took him just over an hour to get the
win! The level of tennis was very high, Dimitrov played good but Sinner had all the right
shots at the right moments. Dimitrov's single hand backhand is glorious and Sinners
passing shots are just as glorious.

A deserved winner!

Next week loses a new chapter in both players game -Clay- It will be interesting to
see how both and everyone adapt.

Definitely not the best Dimitrov that we've watched in the past 3-4 days. That was beating the likes of Alcaraz and Zverev, who was coming back into form after a bit of a lul period in his career since COVID. This Miami court is very well suited for flat, attacking tennis. As it is a much faster court than the one at Indian Wells. I predict that Sinner(if he remains healthy) that Sinner will win at least 3 more Miami Opens in his career. The surface is perfectly suited for his attacking game.

Sinner is really young (likewise 21-22 years old) so this is absolutely possible in upcoming years.
This year he is playing at a very high level, with a record of only 1 defeat after 24 games.
It's really hard to do better than that.
Here in Italy there is a moment of "collective madness" in which everyone is rediscovering and appreciating tennis thanks to the results that Sinner achieved.
Until now, the strongest players rarely entered the top 50... we hadn't seen a player at this level for many years, and Sinner has already made better results than any other Italian player...

Collins is rumoured to play her last tournament before the maternity leave so she will give her all to win it. I won't even mention that she is playing on home soil. Rybakina, on the other hand, played mostly 3 set matches in Miami and is likely running out of steam. Let's wait and see tonight!

Spending a lot of time on the court to reach the final did make it difficult for her to stay fit in the final and Rybakina had to accept the unpleasant fact of suffering her second defeat in the WTA 1000 final this year, but it cannot be denied that she has been one of the most consistent this year including Iga Swiatek, while others look easy to lose in the early rounds of the tournament including Aryna Sabalenka.
After several weeks there were no players with a one-handed backhand style in the top ten, finally, there is a player with that style in the top ten again, Grigor Dimitrov managed to occupy ninth position after several tournaments this year appearing quite impressive and his success advance to the Miami Open final gave him a quite a lot of points even though he lost quite easily to Sinner in the final but that could be said to be according to predictions seeing how Sinner since the Australian Open has played at a very high level of tennis so it won't be easy for his opponent to beat him, and Sinner managed to shift Alcaraz to occupy second place and is only around 1000 points different from Djokovic so Sinner may become world number one soon if he can win several tournaments.
