Taylor Fritz and Jannick Sinner book quarterfinal spots in Miami Open

MIAMI: Taylor Fritz and Jannick Sinner booked their places in the quarterfinals of the Miami Open with straight sets wins at Hard Rock Stadium on Tuesday.

In a clash of two top-10 players, American Fritz defeated Denmark’s Holger Rune 6-3, 6-4 to reach the last eight in Miami for the first time in his career.

Fritz, who won at Delray Beach last month, beat Emilio Nava and Denis Shapovalov in straight sets before Tuesday’s encounter, and he was pleased with the way he was able to go on the attack.

Italian Sinner has also advanced to the last eight without dropping a set and he was in firm control from the outset against Russian sixth seed Andrey Rublev, winning 6-2, 6-4.

Sinner, who has never failed to reach the quarters in his three appearances in Miami, will face either Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp or Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori in the last eight. Agencies
