Cerundolo, who reached the Miami semi-finals on debut in 2022 and the quarter-finals in 2023 and 2025, looked back to his best in Miami again after defeating World No. 10 Daniil Medvedev in the third round.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, the Argentine was unable to respond to Zverev\u2019s level, missing out on a chance to advance to his third ATP Masters 1000 semi-final, ATP reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the quarter-final victory, Zverev notched his fourth consecutive win against Cerundolo, earning a 4-3 lead in their ATP Head-to-Head series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Zverev will now turn his focus to his semi-final clash with Sinner, who leads 7-4 in their rivalry, having won each of their past six encounters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTomorrow will be the toughest test,\u201d Zverev said after advancing to his 25th ATP Masters 1000 semi-final. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to it. I\u2019ve been feeling quite well, and hopefully it\u2019ll continue.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, Sinner raced past home favourite Frances Tiafoe 6-2, 6-2 to seal his semi-final spot at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Florida.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sinner is aiming to become the first man to complete the coveted \u2018Sunshine Double\u2019 of winning Indian Wells and Miami Open in the same year since Roger Federer in 2017.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cTo be hungry [for more success], I think is quite natural,\u201d said Sinner after his 10th consecutive match win. \u201cMentally you have to stay calm and be relaxed also off the court. I\u2019m trying to keep going. I know this is my last tournament on hard courts before going on clay, so I\u2019m very happy to make the semis again.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
