21st seeded Jannik Sinner takes on 32nd seed Alexander Bublik in the Miami Open quarter final. This is unchartered territory in this tournament for both of the players. The winner has a tough task ahead of them in the last four with either Daniil Medvedev or Roberto Bautista Agut their opponent. Sinner has had a good year and already has one tournament victory. That came when winning a pre-Australian Open event in Melbourne. He had a tough draw in the Grand Slam though but did well to take Denis Shapovalov to five sets.  This is his third quarter final since that tournament. In this event he has beaten Karen Khachanov (he also beat him in Melbourne) but had to come from a set down to win that match. His fourth round tie saw him defeat Emiil Ruusuvuori (conqueror of Alexander Zverev) for the loss of just four games.

Now he faces Alexander Bublik, who he recently beat in three sets in the Dubai Tennis Championships. Bublik has also had a good year and it seems to be getting better with this Miami quarter final. He made it to the final of the Antalya tournament right at the start of this year. His final didn't last long as he had to retire against Alex de Minaur after two games of the first set. He had beaten Matteo Berrettini in that tournament. A second round exit happened in the Australian Open but he then reached the final of a tournament and beat Alexander Zverev in Rotterdam. He's only dropped one set in this tournament. That was against Taylor Fritz in the fourth round, a good result after losing the first set. Sinner is in good form and can get the win here.
