MIAMI, March 28 ― Greek second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas beat Chilean qualifier Cristian Garin 6-3 4-6 6-4 to reach the fourth round of the Miami Open yesterday while Elena Rybakina beat Elise Mertens to keep alive her hopes of clinching the rare “Sunshine Double”.
“I won't lie, it was difficult out there against an opponent that has shown good tennis against top players in the past.” The Greek squandered two break point chances in the opening game of a third set but got the break he would need at 4-4 when Garin double-faulted while at 40-30 in a game the Chilean went on to lose before Tsitsipas served out the match.
In other men's action, Argentine Francisco Cerundolo stunned fifth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-2 7-5 to avenge his third-round loss to the Canadian two weeks ago at Indian Wells.Rybakina, the 10th seed, came back from a break down to grab the first set against Mertens. If Rybakina lifts the title in Miami, she would become only the fifth woman to win the Indian Wells and Miami tournaments back-to-back, a feat known as the “Sunshine Double” given the tournaments' locations in California and Florida.
