Hurkacz/Isner Take Out Ram/Salisbury In Miami

Spoiler:

Hubert Hurkacz and John Isner came through a nerve-wracking finish to upset second seeds Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury and clinch the remaining semi-final spot at the Miami Open presented by Itau on Wednesday.

The Polish-American pairing required an Isner ace to convert their fourth match point and complete a 7-6(7), 6-3 victory at Hard Rock Stadium as they continued to impress in their first tournament playing together.

Hurkacz and Isner recovered the only break points of the first set from 30/40 in the sixth game and were able to hit back from a tricky position again in the tie-break. They saved two set points, one of them with a huge Hurkacz ace, before converting the first one of their own after Ram pushed a difficult volley wide.


Two breaks in the second set was enough to clinch the match for the wild card pairing, although they had to hold their nerve in a dramatic final game as Ram and Salisbury recovered from 40/0 on the Isner serve to force a sudden death deciding point. The American duly delivered an ace to extinguish the second-seeded pairing’s mini-revival and set a semi-final clash with Australian Open champions Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios.

Hurkacz and Isner produced clutch serving under pressure throughout the one-and-a-half-hour encounter, firing nine aces, saving five out of six break points they faced, and winning 78% (38/49) of points behind their first delivery, according to Infosys ATP Stats.

Although seeking their first title together, Isner and Hurkacz have both won ATP Masters 1000 titles before. Isner has triumphed twice in Indian Wells as well as in Rome and Shanghai, while Hurkacz lifted the trophy in Paris in 2020.

Defeat for Ram and Salisbury leaves them still hunting a second Masters 1000 title. They lifted the trophy in Toronto last year and followed that with a second Grand Slam title at the US Open, triumphs which have contributed to Salisbury’s rise to World No. 1 that will be confirmed in next week’s edition of the ATP Rankings.

Hurkacz Swoops Into Miami SFs, Halts Medvedev's No. 1 Quest

Spoiler:

Pole next plays Alcaraz or Kecmanovic

Hubert Hurkacz moved to within two wins of retaining his Miami Open presented by Itau title on Thursday as he ended Daniil Medvedev’s World No. 1 bid in empathic fashion on Hard Rock Stadium.

In a tight quarter-final battle, the Pole produced an intense and aggressive performance against Medvedev as he clubbed his groundstrokes and finished points at the net to triumph 7-6(7), 6-3 in two hours and two minutes.

The south Florida sun brings the best out of Hurkacz, with the eighth seed now 10-0 at the tournament since 2021, having captured his maiden ATP Masters 1000 crown in Miami last year. This week, the 25-year-old has eliminated Arthur Rinderknech, Aslan Karatsev, Lloyd Harris and Medvedev, with his quarter-final win over the top seed levelling their ATP Head2Head series at 2-2.


Medvedev spent three weeks as the World No. 1 from 28 February to 21 March this year before he relinquished the spot to Novak Djokovic. Victory over Hurkacz would have moved Medvedev back to tennis’ summit on Monday.

However, the four-time Masters 1000 champion - who was aiming to reach the semi-finals in Miami for the first time - never found top gear against Hurkacz as he struggled to fully impose his baseline game on the Pole.

Hurkacz will play either #NextGenATP Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz or Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic in the last four as he aims to win his first trophy of the season. The World No. 10 clinched three tour-level crowns in 2021. But his best result this year before Miami was a run to the semi-finals in Dubai.

It is just the second time Hurkacz has defeated a Top 2 opponent, with his other win coming against then-World No. 2 Medvedev at Wimbledon in July.

In an entertaining first set, Hurkacz flew into a 3-0 lead as he pulled Medvedev from corner to corner with his heavy ball striking. From 5-2 ahead and seemingly in control though, the World No. 2 showed everybody why he is a 13-time tour-level champion as he hit with greater depth to force a more nervy Hurkacz into errors.


However, the 25-year-old recomposed himself and edged a tight tie-break, receiving a slice of luck at 7/7 when his mis-hit forehand dropped awkwardly at the feet of Medvedev, who could only hit his half-volley long.

Hurkacz continued to play aggressively at the start of the second set as he pressurised Medvedev with deep returns. In a mammoth fifth game, the Pole fired the ball into the corners, stayed patient and eventually gained the break on his sixth break point of the game. He then powered through his final service games and broke a tiring Medvedev again to seal his standout win.
