Surprise in Miami: Alcaraz Knocked Out by Dimitrov

Surprise in Miami. Carlos Alcaraz, world number 2, has been eliminated in straight sets (6-2, 6-4) by the 32-year-old Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov. On the Florida hard courts, one of Dimitrov's best versions of recent years was seen, managing to never let the Spaniard into the match, who at the end had to admit the inferiority: "I just did not know what to do". Physically and mentally declining, Alcaraz got into the match only in the second half of the second set, when, however, it was too late. And now Sinner has an opportunity not to be missed: by winning the tournament, he would become the world number 2, behind only Novak Djokovic. Today Sinner-Medvedev is worth a piece of overtaking However, first the Italian must beat the Russian Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals. Should he overcome him, as happened in the final at the Australian Open, Sinner would mathematically become world no.2. An overtaking missed at Indian Wells but that is proposed again in Florida. First, he needs to beat the Russian, then one between the other two semifinalists (Dimitrov, indeed, and Zverev).
