Top seed Carlos Alcaraz moved to within two wins of completing the 'Sunshine Double' with a 6-4 6-2 victory over Taylor Fritz at the Miami Open on Thursday while Daniil Medvedev ended the dream run of American qualifier Christopher Eubanks.
Mar 30, 2023; Miami, Florida, US; Carlos Alcaraz reacts after winning the first set against Taylor Fritz in a men's singles quarterfinal on day eleven of the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Spaniard consolidated an opening break to go up 2-0 and while Fritz held his serve after that he was unable to convert either of his break point chances as Alcaraz used stellar net play to swat both aside en route to sealing the opening set. "Of course I am really happy with the way that I started the match with no mistakes and with a lot of power. It was a key for me to break the serve at the beginning."
Fourth-seed Medvedev trailed 3-2 in the first set before rain interrupted play but when the match resumed 30 minutes later he was a man on a mission as he won the next five games and never trailed again.
