Zverev gave Cerúndolo no options and beat him comfortably in the quarterfinals of the Miami Open

It couldn’t be. Alexander Zverev (4th ATP) was responsible for pulverizing the illusions of Francisco Cerúndolo (19th) in the quarterfinals of the Miami Open with a resounding 6-1, 6-2 victory, in just one hour and five minutes. This allowed the European to advance in the history between the two by 4-3 and also advance to the semifinals.

From start to finish, the dominance passed through the racket of the German tennis playerwho was able to bring out his best shots against a dull Albiceleste player. The advantage that the world No. 4 took at the beginning of the round definitively marked the pulse of a match that promised high-flying tennis, but ended up having a german monologue.

After momentarily hinting at an improvement in his game at the beginning of the second set, Francisco once again fell into a rut. Frustration seemed to definitively take over the eldest of the Cerúndolo brothers, who was seen with his head down during a match that was already in favor of Sascha 6-1 and 4-1, after an hour of play.

The truth is that with the temperance of an elite player, Zverev sealed the victory and won the ticket to the semifinals of the tournamentdepriving the best Argentine racket of the moment from repeating what was done in 2022, when it was precisely among the four best.

It will be neither more nor less than Jannik Sinner (2nd) the next rival of the Hamburg-born, who knew how to compete in the definition of this tournament in 2018, although he could not lift the title, which remained in the hands of John Isner.
