In a rain-disrupted match at the Miami Open, Daniil Medvedev and Christopher Eubanks faced off against each other, with the Russian emerging as the winner. In both 2021 and 2022, Medvedev was unable to advance past the quarter-final stage in Miami.

Rain suspended play at 2-3 in the first set. Interestingly, the 27-year-old claimed that the rain aided his concentration and boosted his energy levels.

"I didn't play my best before [the rain delay]. The rain helped me go out and have more energy. It helped me and I only played better and better, apart from one bad game on my serve, but it happens," Medvedev told ATPTour.com.

Medvedev has been on a remarkable run this season, boasting an impressive record of 27 wins and only three losses, winning 22 out of his last 23 matches.

The former World No. 1 lifted trophies in Rotterdam, Doha, and Dubai. He fell short in the final at Indian Wells, where he faced off against Carlos Alcaraz, who ended his 19-match winning streak.

"I have never had such a good start to the season. A lot of matches won, tournaments won. I am really happy," Medvedev said. "I was disappointed at Indian Wells when my streak ended on the same number as last time. The only thing you can do is begin a new streak and I am happy to bring my form into Miami."

Daniil Medvedev will face compatriot Karen Khachanov in the semi-finals on Friday, March 31. Medvedev will rise to No. 4 in the ATP World Rankings if he wins the title in Miami.
