VIDEO Carlos Alcaraz, the main favorite, surprisingly defeated in the ATP Miami quarterfinals

​Great favorite to achieve the “Sunshine Double” (to win in the same season at Indian Wells and Miami), Carlos Alcaraz was unexpectedly defeated in the quarterfinals of the Miami Masters, the Iberian not having the necessary solutions in front of a Grigor Dimitrov in incredible form (6-2, 6-4).

Carlos Alcaraz, eliminated in the ATP Miami quarterfinals by Grigor Dimitrov

11th favorite in Miami, Dimitrov was inspired from the return, the Bulgarian producing four breaks against an Alcaraz who has not shown any confidence in the game since the launch.

The statistics of the game show the service problem in full, with Carlos having modest percentages on both the first (56% points won) and the second (52%).

Alcaraz had fewer winners than her opponent (16 vs 23), committed 8 unforced errors and had three double faults.

The Iberian was dominated by Dimitrov even in terms of points won at the net: 50% (7/14) for Carlos, respectively 74% (14/19) for the Bulgarian.

Dimitrov thus achieved his second consecutive victory against the reigning Wimbledon champion, the score of the head-to-head meetings now being 3-2 in favor of Alcaraz.

In the semi-finals in Miami we will have duels: Grigor Dimitrov (11) vs Alexander Zverev (4) and Daniil Medvedev (3) vs Jannik Sinner (2).
