Top Seed Carlos Alcaraz Falls Short in Miami Open Quarter-Finals, Grigor Dimitrov Advances

In a stunning turn of events at the Miami Open, top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz fell short of making history as he was defeated in straight sets by Grigor Dimitrov. The Bulgarian 11th seed outplayed Alcaraz, winning 77% of his first-serve points and breaking the Spaniard four times during the match.

Alcaraz, who was aiming to become the first man to clinch the Sunshine Double since Roger Federer in 2017, expressed his frustrations after the match, stating that Dimitrov made him feel like he was ’13 years old’. Despite playing good tennis, Alcaraz admitted he couldn’t find a way to make Dimitrov uncomfortable on the court.

Dimitrov, on the other hand, credited his victory to his focus and game plan, stating that simplicity was key in his win over Alcaraz. He will now face Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals, with the opportunity to climb into the top 10 with a victory.

The Miami Open continues to deliver thrilling matches, with Zverev also advancing to the semi-finals after defeating Fabian Marozsan.
