quarter-final win over Frances Tiafoe on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>World No 2 and 2024 Miami Open champion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> had faced the toughest match of his tournament so far in the fourth round, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jannik-sinner-record-miami-open-federer-djokovic-and-alcaraz\">with the Italian pushed hard in a 7-5, 7-6(4) victory over Alex Michelsen on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 24-year-old faced little trouble against 19th seed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/frances-tiafoe\">Tiafoe<\/a> in the last eight, dropping just four games in a dominant 6-2, 6-2 win over the American.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a

And how has it affected his ranking?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/taylor-fritz-withdraws-monte-carlo-will-he-now-skip-whole-clay-swing\">Taylor Fritz withdraws from Monte Carlo Masters \u2013 will he now skip whole clay swing?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It took just 71 minutes for Sinner to claim the most dominant win of his Miami Open campaign so far, with the Italian not facing a single break point on his own serve, while breaking Tiafoe on four separate occasions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like starting the match is very important. When you start with a break up it gives you slightly good confidence,\u201d said Sinner, speaking to <em>Tennis TV<\/em> after his win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the same time, they might be very aggressive. I try to stay as compact as possible with my shots, also mentally. There can be some ups and downs from both sides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try to be very calm, taking the chances I can get. I think today that was the key.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the tournament, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/miami-open-how-jannik-sinner-broke-10-year-old-novak-djokovic-record\">Sinner broke Novak Djokovic\u2019s previous record of 24 consecutive sets won at Masters 1000 events<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Victory over Tiafoe on Thursday has extended the Italian\u2019s new record to 30 sets in a row at Masters events, having previously won the Paris Masters last November and Indian Wells earlier this month without dropping a single set.<\/p>\n<p>However, that is not the only milestone that Sinner has now hit at the Miami Open this year.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Miami Open was held in 1985, the Italian is the first man to reach the semi-final four times in his first five appearances at the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner retired injured in his quarter-final in 2022, though he was the champion in 2024, and the runner-up in both 2021 and 2023; he did not contest the event in 2025 due to his three-month doping suspension.<\/p>\n<p>And, since the first edition of the Miami Open 41 years ago, the four-time Grand Slam champion is the first man to win 14 straight matches across the \u2018Sunshine Double\u2019 without dropping a set.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Sinner has won six matches in Indian Wells and four matches \u2014 and counting \u2014 in Miami without losing a set, while he won the final four matches of his 2024 Miami Open title run in straight sets.<\/p>\n<p>He will hope to continue his stellar run going into his semi-final on Friday, where he will face either third seed Alexander Zverev or 18th seed Francisco Cerundolo.<\/p>\n<p>Should Sinner lift the title in Miami this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/what-is-the-sunshine-double-can-jannik-sinner-aryna-sabalenka-achieve-it\">he would become the first man since Roger Federer in 2017 to achieve the Sunshine Double<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?
