MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Jannik Sinner could not deny the importance of his thrilling, three-set upset of Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals of the 2023 Miami Open on Friday. It was “for sure ... one of the best wins” of his career, he conceded, and set up the 21-year-old Italian to hit new heights in his career.
On Sunday, he’ll square off against Daniil Medvedev in the Miami Open championship with a chance to win his first ATP Tour Masters 1000 trophy and perhaps vault as high as No. 6 in the Association of Tennis Professionals’ Monday rankings.
“Jannik is progressing really, really fast, especially this year,” Medvedev said Friday after beating No. 14-seed Karen Khachanov in the other Miami semifinal.
