Daniil Medvedev's bid to reclaim the world number one ranking fell short on Thursday as the Russian lost 7-6(7) 6-3 to Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in the Miami Open quarter-finals.
Defending champion Hurkacz won the first three games and fended off two break points in the seventh as Medvedev, who appeared unwell in the heat at times, struggled with his serve and had four double faults in the first set.
Sitting on his bench after the seventh game, the U.S. Open champion removed his sweat-drenched shirt and requested assistance from the physio, complaining of dizziness. In the following game, Medvedev hunched over momentarily and later dropped his racket to the court after he whacked a backhand return into the net."I was hitting my forehand a little better and I was returning better so that was big for me."
"To be honest, I played a lot of matches where I had the pressure, different one, and it's not like something new happened today in terms of like going out on court and feeling crazy tight or something," he said.Hurkacz's win sets up a meeting with Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz, who came from behind to beat Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic 6-7 6-3 7-6 in an entertaining battle under the lights at Hard Rock Stadium.
