22.08 Overall, Sinner scored 36 points against Ruusuvuori’s 25.
22.07 If he had served very well with Rublev, today Sinner has fielded only 53% of firsts so far, obtaining 94% of the points (50% instead with the second).
22.05 8 winners and 12 free errors for Sinner in the first set. 7-11 instead the calculation for the Finnish.
22.03 Before the interruption we had admired a Sinner at 30/40% of his potential, certainly very far from the extraordinary performance shown with Rublev. Yet his superiority over Ruusuvuori appeared clear and evident.
22.01 Sinner leads 6-3, 2-0, 15-15 against Ruusuvuori. The way the match had gone, the interruption certainly comes as a blessing for the Finn.

21.00 Today a real final exam is expected for Sinner. We know that he gives his best in luxury challenges and against high-ranking players (like with Rublev in the round of 16), however he tends to get distracted against more modest and affordable opponents. Today we will understand if he has improved from this point of view as well.
20.57 The sky is decidedly overcast and cloudy: who knows if the rain might peep out.
20.56 Whoever wins this match will face either the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz or the American Taylor Fritz in the semifinals.
20.53 Jannik Sinner is instead 5th in the ATP Race ranking, or the one that only takes into account the points collected in 2023 and which will qualify the best 8 for the Finals in Turin in November. CLICK HERE FOR THE VIRTUAL RANKING.
20.48 Jannik Sinner on the other hand is virtually No. 10 in the world. Depending on the case, he could finish the week 11th, 10th, 9th or even 6th. CLICK HERE FOR ALL COMBINATIONS.
20.47 Emil Ruusuvuori is No. 54 in the world. However, thanks to the quarter-finals reached in this tournament, he has already climbed into the top 40 and is virtually n.37 in the ranking.
20.46 It is therefore curious to note how Sinner and Ruusuvuori face each other in the Masters1000 in Miami for the third year in a row!
20.45 There are four precedents between Sinner and Ruusuvuori, all won by the Italian. 6-3, 6-2 at Miami 2021, 6-2, 6-4 at Washington 2021, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (8) at Miami 2022, 7-5, 6-3 at Monaco 2022 .

19.46 The Romanian Cirstea won the first set against the Belarusian Sabalenka: 6-4 in favor of the number 74 in the world, which is seriously putting the number 2 in the WTA ranking in difficulty. At the end of this meeting it will be Jannik Sinner’s turn.
