"Jannik Sinner has continued to bulldoze through the draw as he tries to follow up his recent Indian Wells title by winning the Sunshine Double. He rolled into the semi-finals of the Miami Open with a comfortable 6-2, 6-2 win over the 19th seed, Frances Tiafoe."
"Sinner has now won 30 consecutive sets at Masters 1000 events, extending his record. He has lost serve only once in the tournament, a set in which he demonstrated mental toughness by recovering from 2-5 down in the second set tie-break."
"The ease and lightness Sinner is competing with reflects his current circumstances. A year ago, the Italian was in the middle of his three-month doping suspension. He has something of a free hit at these tournaments, with no points to defend."
Jannik Sinner has been exceptional at the Miami Open, winning 10 consecutive matches and reaching the semi-finals with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Frances Tiafoe. He has broken Novak Djokovic's record for consecutive sets won at Masters 1000 events, now at 30. Sinner's performances have been marked by strong serving and mental toughness, particularly in recovering from a challenging match against Alex Michelsen. His current success comes after a year of pressure due to a doping suspension, allowing him to compete with less stress and focus on regaining the ATP No 1 ranking.
