Overview
- Sinner faces American Alex Michelsen on Tuesday in the Miami Open round of 16 after beating Corentin Moutet 6-1, 6-4.
- The victory extended his Masters 1000 streak to 26 straight sets, a new mark that surpasses Novak Djokovic’s record of 24.
- With Carlos Alcaraz upset by Sebastian Korda, live rankings projections indicate Sinner can cut the gap by taking the Miami title before a clay stretch where Alcaraz must defend heavy points.
- The field has thinned after notable upsets, including Daniil Medvedev’s loss to Francisco Cerundolo, leaving only Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz as other top‑10 players still in the draw with Sinner.
- Italian results broaden the story as Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini advanced to the women’s doubles quarterfinals with a 6-4, 6-4 win.
