Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic absent. Dominic Thiem who also chose to skip the Florida Masters 1000. With this data, everyone expected surprises at Miami. But, we must recognize that the quarter-finals are surprising. No less than 3 of the 8 players still in the running will play their first quarter-final of Masters 1000. The three smart people who have seized the opportunity to shine are Sebastian Korda, Jannik Sinner and Alexander Bublik. Two young talents who have exploded in recent months and a very talented player who has been showing himself in recent weeks.
Sinner knocked down Khachanov in Round 3 in Miami
7 out of 8 chances of having a new Masters 1000 winner
However, the other players are not much more experienced at this level. Hubert Hurkacz only reached this level once, it was at Indian Wells 2019. Same thing for Andrey Rublev, who had only reached the quarterfinals of Masters 1000 during Cincinnati 2019. For Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas, this will be their 7th quarter at this level. The most experienced, Roberto Bautista-Agut, will play his 8th Masters 1000 quarterfinal. Finally, note that there is a 7 out of 8 chance of having a brand new Masters 1000 winner. Daniil Medvedev triumphed in this category, 3 times please. Here are some stats that will make the end of this Masters 1000 de Miami particularly exciting.
Eight remain in Miami… and what a line-up!
