World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz comfortably advanced to Miami Open 4th round after a straight set victory 6-0, 7-6 (5) over Dusan Lajovic.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard was in cruise control in the first set, not allowing his Serbian opponent to even get a single game. In the second there was a significant resistance from the lower-ranked player, who brought the game to a tie-break, but ultimately the class of Alcaraz saw him through and he will face American Tommy Paul on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, today has been a great match, great level. I hope to play at this level on Tuesday,\u201d Alcaraz said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI lost the first and only match that I played against Tommy. I know that he\u2019s a really talented and really tough player, so I have to play at my best. Let\u2019s see what\u2019s going to happen on Tuesday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul and fellow American Taylor Fritz also advanced with relative ease in straight sets.<\/p>\n
Paul defeated Alejandro Davidovic Fokina 6-3, 7-5, bagging home 8 aces in the process. Fokina had six double-faults.<\/p>\n
The surprise result came from the world No.4 Casper Ruud game, as the Norwegian was outplayed and eliminated by Botic van de Zandschulp from the Netherlands 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. The Dutchman bagged an impressive 12 aces en route to victory and will face Emil Ruusuvuori from Finland in the next round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
