Additionally, the rain stopped for 45 minutes in Miami in the second half when the score was 3:3. But Sinner held his nerve, turning the score around against Grekspur and then winning his second match in Florida within 24 hours.

Sinner had a lot of trouble against Griekspoor. Just a few weeks ago, the South Tyrol player played against the 27-year-old in Rotterdam. Of particular note is that Sinner had to convert a group deficit for only the second time this season. The other time this was the case in the Australian Open final against Daniil Medvedev, when the eventual champion lost the first two sets.
