Three minutes a day, know all tennis affairs. Hello tennis fans, today is Wednesday, March 25, 2026. Welcome to listen and watch the News Midday Report provided by "Tennis Home".

Last night and early this morning Beijing time, the ATP/WTA1000 Miami Open continued. Men's singles: In a key fourth-round match, second seed Sinner, facing a disadvantage of trailing 2-5 in the second set, strongly broke his opponent's serve-to-win-set game, ultimately narrowly winning 7-5, 7-6(4) against local rising star Mickelson, achieving a nine-match winning streak, extending his Masters winning-set record to 28 sets, while also securing his 28th consecutive win against American players, advancing to his 20th Masters quarterfinal.

Next, he will compete with another local player, Tiafoe, for a semifinal spot. Tiafoe defeated French dark horse Atmana 6-4, 1-6, 6-4, marking his fifth career Masters quarterfinal.

In another key match, Czech star Lehecka eliminated local top player Fritz 6-4, 6-7(4), 6-2, entering the tournament quarterfinals for the first time. In the quarterfinals, he will face Spanish youngster Landarus, under 20 years old, who saved a match point in the second set and reversed 2-6, 7-6(6), 6-4 against American Korda (who eliminated world No.1 Alcaraz in the previous round), entering his first Masters quarterfinal, which also avenged his compatriot senior brother.

Landarus, with a world ranking of 151, becomes the lowest-ranked tournament quarterfinalist since 1994, and also the first post-2006 player to reach a Masters quarterfinal. Fans exclaim: After Alcaraz, Spain's younger generation is already rising!

Other matches: Local star Tommy Paul defeated Argentine Echeverri 6-1, 6-3, advancing to the quarterfinals here for the first time. Next, he will compete with French rising star Fils for a semifinal spot. Fils battled hard for three sets, narrowly winning 6-4, 6-7(4), 6-4 against Monaco's Vassero, entering the tournament quarterfinals for the second consecutive year.

In the last fourth-round match concluded at noon, German player Zverev Jr. narrowly won two tiebreaks 7-6(4), 7-6(1) against French player Arias, securing the final quarterfinal spot. In the quarterfinals, he will face Argentine star F. Cerundolo, who comprehensively defeated French player Humbert 6-4, 6-3, marking his eighth career Masters quarterfinal.

Women's singles: In the quarterfinals, local fourth seed Gauff resisted her opponent's comeback, battled hard for three sets, and ultimately eliminated Swiss star Bencic 6-3, 1-6, 6-3, entering her 14th 1000-level tournament semifinal. Next, she will compete with Czech star Muchova for a final spot. Muchova narrowly won 7-5, 7-6(5) against tenth seed, Canadian rising star Mboko, achieving a double victory over her opponent since the Doha final, entering the tournament semifinals for the first time and her fifth 1000-level semifinal.

The other two women's singles quarterfinals will take place early tomorrow Beijing time: Rybakina vs. Pegula, and Sabalenka vs. Baptiste. Will the "Double Ba Battle" happen again? Tomorrow's Midday Report will reveal the answer.
