“I’m playing well, feeling well, and enjoying these moments on the court. I’m thrilled to be playing the way I’m playing. I’m having a great impact with my game so far this week, so it’s important for me to capitalise on that.” Stefanos Tsitsipas is happy with the state of his game heading into the quarter finals.

Stefanos Tsitsipas battled past Lorenzo Sonego to book his place in the Miami Open quarter finals.

The Greek made a rapid start and, even though he was forced to dig deep in the second set, he secured a 6-2 7-6 (2) success.

Tsitsipas will face Hubert Hurkacz in the quarter finals and is happy with his form heading into that last-eight clash.

Medvedev will face Roberto Bautista Agut who beat John Isner in three sets, and he is expecting a tough contest.

"Roberto is a helluva player,” he said. “I feel like sometimes, when I have practised with him and played against him, that his ranking should be higher.”

The 20-year-old is the last American remaining in the event and will face Andrey Rublev in the quarter finals following the Russian’s 6-4 6-4 win over Marin Cilic.

Jannik Sinner and Alexander Bublik make up the final eight after wins over Emil Ruusuvuori and Taylor Fritz respectively.
