Jannik Sinner aims to overcome Alexander Zverev in the Miami Open semi-finals, with a potential Sunshine Double on the line. The Italian, riding a 10-match winning streak since Indian Wells, is seeking to become the first man since Roger Federer in 2017 to win both Miami and Indian Wells in the same season. A victory would secure his second title of 2025 and bring him closer to Carlos Alcaraz in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin. Sinner, ranked No. 2 in the PIF ATP Rankings, has dominated Zverev in their recent encounters, holding a 7-4 edge in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series. Their latest clash in the semi-finals will mark their sixth meeting of the year, with Sinner winning their last two matches, including a 6-2, 6-4 victory in Indian Wells. Zverev, however, has historically been strong in Miami, dropping just one set in his previous four wins, including a 6-1, 6-2 quarter-final win over Francisco Cerundolo. Zverev, the tournament’s top seed, has been particularly aggressive in Miami, winning three of his four matches without facing a break point. His performance against Cerundolo showcased his dominance, as he broke the 18th seed’s serve repeatedly. The German, who leads the ATP Masters 1000 wins this decade with 105, will aim to extend his semi-final streak at the event, which he has reached in five of the past six editions. Sinner, meanwhile, has been in scintillating form, highlighted by a 6-2, 6-2 victory over home favorite Frances Tiafoe. The Italian fired 14 aces and lost just nine points on serve, demonstrating his precision and power. With a semi-final berth, Sinner can now focus on the final, where he faces either Arthur Fils or Jiri Lehecka, both making their ATP Masters 1000 final debuts.#jannik_sinner #alexander_zverev #miami_open #pif_atp_rankings #live_race_to_turin
