A daily program postponed by a few hours due to the pioggia fall on Miami that forced the Italian players to take the field around midnight Italian time. But let's go in order.

Jasmine Paolini in the semi-finals

Jasmine Paolini continues to rewrite the history of Italian tennis: the Tuscan becomes the first Italian tennis player to reach the semifinals at the Miami Open. The 29-year-old from Bagni di Lucca, number of the ranking and 6th seed of the tournament, defeated the Polish Magda Linette, number 34 in the WTA ranking, who in the round of 3 had surprisingly eliminated the American Coco Gauff, number XNUMX in the world.

However, I am very happy with this victory: the last time I faced her, in Beijing, I lost badly. She plays very well and pushes a lot: I am very satisfied for how I managed the game. While waiting I talked to my team, I ate something, I joked a bit with them: in short I tried to ease the tension. What should the American fans say in the semi-final to cheer me on? Go Jasmine!".

Amazing Matteo Berrettini 

An amazing one Matteo Berrettini conquers the quarter-finals of the Miami Masters 1000i at the end of an exciting match. The 28-year-old Roman, number 30 in the world, eliminated the 26-year-old Australian in the round of XNUMX Alex De Minaur (number 11 ATP) with a score of 6-3 7-6 (winning the tie-break 9-7). Berrettini's next opponent will be the 27-year-old American Taylor Fritz (n.4) who beat 25-year-old Australian Adam Walton in straight sets.

Berrettini he easily won the first set and then emerged victorious from the marathon of the second. He went ahead by a break, let the score come back, cancelled out three set points with his serve and in turn missing three match points on serve. The final tie-break sees him slip 6-3, rise again and close at fifth match point. Now the American Fritz awaits. "This victory means a lot to me. It means having worked well on and off the pitch, and be happy with what you're doing. If I'm not happy, I can't get the results I want. I'm very proud of myself, my team, my family. That's good, but I aim to get even further" the hot words of the Italian.

Musetti's disappointment

There is disappointment in the team of Lurenzo Musetti but frankly in front of this version of Novak Djokovic there was very little to do. For the second consecutive year, Lorenzo (number 16 in the ATP world ranking) says goodbye to the Miami Open in the round of XNUMX. In the quarterfinals, in Florida, the Serbian (number 5 today) goes there, who imposes himself for 6-2 6-2 playing one of his best matches in all of 2025. After the initial 0-2 in the first set (with Musetti breaking in the opening game), in fact, the thirty-seven-year-old from Belgrade took home 12 of the next 14 games.

Musetti unfortunately collected only 14 points in the return rounds, often punished in the exchanges by the excellent geometry of the six-time champion in Miami. Nole, who cradles the dream of 100th ATP title in career, in the quarter finals it will be sebastian korda (number 25 in the world).
