Sebastian Korda of the United States will attempt to take his Cinderella run to the semifinal first of the Miami Open, but first he needs to overcome none other than 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic in their semifinal showpiece in Key Biscayne on Wednesday.

Korda, born and raised in Florida, has a chance to barge into the semifinal of an ATP 1000 event for the second time in his career if he can find a way to beat the six-time Miami Open winner. Two days after upsetting No.9 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-6(4) 6-3, Korda survived an acid test from Gael Monfils 6-4 2-6 6-4 in the third round. The American won 80 percent of his first serves and scored two service breaks, including the pivotal breakpoint conversion that put him ahead 4-3 and a serve in the second set.

Djokovic fashioned out a dominant 6-2, 6-2 win over Lorenzo Musetti of Italy to keep his bid for a record-breaking seven Miami Open title alive. The Serbian did not waste any time in destroying Musetti, who had given him headaches in past encounters. Djokovic landed 70 percent of his first serves, winning 24 points of 32 chances. He also captured five breakpoints, which created the separations he needed to pull away from Musetti.
