Miami Garden, United States: World No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz initially received a shock from the Miami Open on Friday when former Belgian soldier David Gofen won 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 to 6-3 at the hard rock stadium on Friday.

34 -year -old Gofn defeated Alakaraz in Astana three years ago in his last meeting, and the sensing of the Science was far from his outstanding performance in the opening set, he went into the attack.

The 55th -ranked Gofn, whose global ranking reached number 7 in 2017, targeted some brilliant winners while Alcaraz was fighting unforgivable mistakes.

The slightly constructed gofin ended intermittently in all three sets, but Alcaz was already recovered when he showed polite and calm to stay at the top.

“This is the kind of night that I will definitely remember – against Carlos and such a stadium, and that night that gave me a lot of confidence to continue,” Gofn said.

Alakaraz was twice as a review of his performance.

“Generally, it was a poor level to me, I didn’t play well,” said Alakaraz, who said he felt a little heavy in his feet despite his feeling in good shape.

He added, “I thought I would really play good Tan Tennis but that didn’t happen … playing breakdown in the third set, not felt physically good or confident, it is really difficult to come back.”

Daniel Medvedev also left home after a 6-2, 6-3 defeat to Spain’s 56th, while Novak Djokovic gained power to win the straight set on Australian Ranki Hajikita.

The Miami champion of 2023, Medidif, showed his disappointment, which threw his racket on several occasions when Monar, born in Melorica, 27, chose his third career win against the top 10 opponent.

The Russians made 32 unprecedented mistakes and although it gave himself a chance to return to the last game, he could not change at two break points.

Medvedev confirmed that he was upset with his back but said it was not an excuse and he gave credit to Munir.

“Yes, I was not physically 100 %, but I tried my best to get into the match. Every day it was better and better. I had some trouble after Indian wells.

He added, “He played well, so that’s why (he won) I wouldn’t go in the match if I certainly know that I am not ready to win.”

Djokovic, who lost his first match in Indian Wales, lost his lucky loser, was not in another frustration mood because he defeated Hajikita, who came in 86th, 6-0, 7-6 (7/1) and snatched the Straike losing his three matches.

Djokovic, who has made a record 40 titles at the Masters 1000 level, has now equalized most of the match (410) after the introduction of the series in 1990.

Karen Khuchnov made sure that the Nick Cargus return trail was shortened with 7-6 (7/3), 6-0 wins.

Australian Karjius, who has struggled since the wrist surgery, defeated McKinzonald’s first round in the first round and won his first tour level in October 2022, but failed to overcome Kharanov, who arrived in Miami in 2023.

In the women’s draw, World No. 2 IGA Sweettic came into the third round after escape from the second set dip to defeat Caroline Garcia of France 6-2, 7-5.

Earlier this month, Sweetic easily defeated Garcia at the same stage, but he had a little more resistance at the hard rock stadium.

Switik in the second set was below 3-1 and when serving at 5-4 before railing to win the last three games, one set point had to be saved.

Sweetic defeated Mirra Andrew in the semi -finals of Indian Wales, the 17 -year -old Russian continued to win the award.

Andreva is in action later on Friday when she competes with colleague Russia Varonica Kadermatova.

“My energy levels really came down fast, so I tried to awaken myself, maintain intensity from the first set, follow it and go,”

In the Grand Stand Court, UK’s Emma Radokano showed encouragement and perseverance to control the eighth seed American Emma Navaro 7-6 (8/6), 2-6, 7-6 (7/4) in a two-hour battle of 53 minutes.
