Tennis: Top seed Medvedev follows Osaka out of Miami Open

Greece's Maria Sakkari upset Japanese second seed Naomi Osaka in a WTA Miami Open quarter-final on Wednesday, snapping the Asian star's win streak at 23 matches. MIAMI: Top-seeded Daniil Medvedev crashed out of the Miami Open on Wednesday on a day of upsets that also saw Australian Open champion Naomi Osaka ousted from the quarter-finals.

Japan's world No. 2 Naomi Osaka after dropping the first set on the way to a quarter-final loss to Greece's Maria Sakkari in the ATP and WTA Miami Open. "So maybe unwillingly that put pressure on myself. But I feel like even if it did, I should be able to rise above that," Osaka said. "To be deadly honest, I got a little tight in the first two games of the second set," said Sakkari, who had saved six match points in her fourth-round win over American Jessica Pegula."I stayed within myself and started fighting back, hitting a few more balls and winning a few points against her."

Up a break at 3-2 in the third, Andreescu saved three break points to hold, broke Sorribes again only to drop her own serve but finally sealed it with a stinging backhand down the line on her second match point. Bautista went into his clash with Medvedev with the confidence of two prior victories over the Russian, and once again he had the winning formula.
