Ashleigh Barty of Australia celebrates after match point against Elina Svitolina of Ukraine in a women's singles semifinal in the Miami Open at the Hard Rock Stadium April 1, 2021.— Reuters picMIAMI, April 2 — World number one Ashleigh Barty bucked the upset trend at the Miami Open on Thursday, rolling into the women’s final as men’s second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was toppled by Hurbert Hurkacz.
Tsitsipas admitted it was a crushing outcome in a tournament where the absences of superstars Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer and his own recent solid form seemed to offer him a chance to shine. There was no sign that incident had unsettled Tsitsipas early on, however, as he dominated a one-sided first set to win 6-2.But just when it appeared the match was heading for a brisk conclusion, Hurkacz finally found his range.
Tsitsipas’ exit leaves Russian fourth seed Andrey Rublev, who played Sebastian Korda later Thursday for a place in the semi-finals, as the highest men’s seed left in the prestigious ATP Masters and WTA tournament.
