Jannik Sinner of Italy rolled past Czech Tomas Machac 6-4, 6-2 to reach the semi-finals of the Miami Open on Wednesday where the second seed will face defending champion Daniil Medvedev of Russia who downed Chilean Nicolas Jarry 6-2, 7-6 (9/7) later in the day.
The first set of the match played in humid conditions hinged on a Machac service game at 3-3 where the unseeded Czech's forehand missed its target on break point to give Sinner a 4-3 lead.
The Italian would wrap up the set with a love hold when Machac was unable to put a second serve back in play.

In the second set, Machac's forehand sailed long to give Sinner the break and a 2-1 lead. Sinner would break again with a backhand winner for 4-1 and closed out the contest with a serve out wide that Machac could not get back.
Sinner, who was a finalist at the tournament in 2021 and 2023, produced 16 winners to four unforced errors in a stress-free victory.
The win was Sinner's 20th of the year and sets up a rematch with Medvedev in the semis after the pair met in last year's Miami Open final and January's Australian Open final where the 22-year-old won his first Grand Slam title.
Sinner has lost just one match this year, falling in the semi-finals of Indian Wells to Spain's Carlos Alcaraz who defended his title in the California dessert and is on course in Miami to achieve the Sunshine Double.
