Here are the major results from Day 10 of the 2022 Miami Open:
Ruud gets past Zverev
Sixth seed Casper Ruud reached his fourth Masters 1000 semifinal by beating second seed Alexander Zverev. The Norwegian took the opening set 6-3 before his opponent rallied to take the second set 6-1.
However, Ruud regained momentum in the third set and earned the decisive break in the second game. Towards the end of the match, he looked absolutely dominant, particularly with his serve and forehand. This is the first time that Ruud has beaten a player ranked above No. 5 in the ATP rankings.
Swiatek beats Kvitova to register 15th consecutive victory
Top seed Iga Swiatek continued her impressive run of form as she beat 28th seed Petra Kvitova 6-3, 6-3 to book her place in the semifinals. The Pole broke once in the first set and twice in the second, which was enough to beat the Czech and register her 15th consecutive win. Swiatek, who did not face a single break point this mathc, will take on Jessica Pegula in the semifinals.
Pegula reaches second WTA 1000 semifinal after Badosa retires
It was the end of the road in Miami for fifth seed Paula Badosa, who retired while trailing 4-1 against 16th seed Jessica Pegula. The American thus moved into her second WTA 1000 semifinal.
Sinner retires against Cerundolo
Last year's runner-up Jannik Sinner retired in his quarter-final match against Francisco Cerundolo after only 23 minutes due to foot blisters. The Argentine was leading 4-1 when Sinner decided to call it quits. Cerundolo made the semis for the first time on debut, taking him close to the top-50. He will face Casper Ruud next for a spot in the final.
