Tennis player Hurkacz keeps Medvedev out of semifinals in Miami

Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev is not yet going to take over the number 1 position in the world ranking from Novak Djokovic. To pass the Serb, who relieved him a week and a half ago, Medvedev had to reach the semifinals at the masters tournament in Miami. It did not work. The Polish defending champion Hubert Hurkacz was too strong for the first-seeded Russian in the quarterfinals in two sets: 7-6 (7) 6-3.

Medvedev became the global number 1 two months ago after Djokovic had been at the top for two years, but missed participation in the Australian Open due to refusing a corona vaccine. After an early elimination at Indian Wells, Medvedev lost so many points that he had to relinquish his lead.
