Wow. Alcatraz is by far my favorite newer player to watch over the past few years. Such entertaining matches and he forces his opponent to go full out offense and put on a show. Fantastic!

Baby Vamos was close to being in the TTW dog house too. It’s a fine line on TTW between the TTW dog house and multi slam winner.

Alcaraz is truly everything. I hope they'll both continue to give us exciting matches like this.

Ah, okay. It would be a bad time to dislike Alcaraz, might be a long decade.
Very happy to see Miomir back playing well and healthy.

Wow, that was pure tennis propaganda from start to finish. If I was ever to show someone what makes this such a great sport, I would just put this on and let it play.

I'm hoping Kecmanovic keeps up this level going into the rest of the year, because if so, this matchup could be AMAZING.
Yeah, this match was a joy to watch. @TripleATeam - Indeed, I hope Mio can bring it at this level and beyond for years to come, because he'll help to build one heck of a rivalry here for sure.

I'd love an Alcaraz-Ruud final.

M-C tournament director: give that young man a WC! I feel certain they would have offered one if he made SFs but you can only get two points closer than this.

Kecmanovic is SOME player. I was really impressed. How is he only ranked #48 in the world? To me he looks like the best player to come out of Serbia since You-Know-Who (at least on the basis of tonight's performance).

Doesn't always play this way, but is doing so recently. His ranking will jump to reflect it if he keeps it up. Plus the injury which stopped his development a year or so back.

Medvedev was out of sorts, didn't look well at all. Surprised he came back and got it to a tiebreak in the first set, he was down 2-5 but lost that set in a tiebreak. It was more that Med didn't play well then superb play from Hurkacz in my opinion. Neither of them did well on second serve points.

Meddy not at his physical best or so he said afterwards. Doesn't detract from Hubie's great performance of course.
Might be a bit tired after today that was insane stuff. Hurcasz seems a Miami specialist which is not a facetious a comment as it seems as that court is utter garbage and unique. Its not a hard court really more like some synthetic stuff they have put down over grass.

Kecmanovic had a terrible year last year, but hired Nalbandian during the Cordoba and Buenos Aires clay tournaments some weeks ago, and has been playing great ever since

Did you really think Hurkacz had a great performance though? I thought he was good but not great and his stats reflect it. At least for me it was that Medvedev didn't play well more than Hubie playing all that well... that's just my opinion though. I love Hubie btw, just not in the next round! (;

didn't see this match but good to hear kecmanovic is back in good form. was impressed when he first showed up on the scene. solid player.
Medvedev cramped again. This is becoming a huge problem for him. Career derailing unless they figure it out.

Interesting to see Nalby coaching. Think that's the first time I've seen him anywhere near a tennis court since he retired. Certainly seems to be having a positive effect on his charge's game.

He had the same problem in his only slam final win at USO. Fortunately for him he could hide it for a while and the match finished in 3 sets.

Well, I didn't see the whole match but, from what I saw, Hurkacz looked to be returning great and deserved to win. Of course I guess we can't ever know how things would have turned out if Medvedev had been fully fit.

Is it accurate that the semi is tomorrow night at 7 p.m.?
Miami conditions are tailor made for him though. My concern for him is his serve is nowhere near good enough. Solid player but doubt he will crack the top 10.

Wonder if that was also a factor in his AO loss to Nadal after being 2 sets up?

Novak is playing MC. So no Alcatraz won't win there. He can win here with Nadal and Novak absence.
