Tiafoe Sets Sinner Miami QF Showdown, Zverev Prevails In Two Tie-breaks
Sinner Miami QF: Frances Tiafoe entered his fifth ATP Masters 1000 quarter-final and his first since Cincinnati in 2024 after beating Terence Atmane 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 at the Miami Open.
For the second straight match, Tiafoe, 28, pulled a Houdini. On Monday, he saved two match points in his three-set victory over defending champion Jakub Mensik, and on Tuesday he was down serving 0-40, 4-4 in the third set against Atmane before achieving the critical break of serve at 4-5.
"I did a lot of work in being comfortable being uncomfortable, and I put myself in those positions often," Tiafoe said of his late escape.
