Fri Mar 28 23:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Fritz One Win Away From Miami Sunshine Double After Thriller
**Miami, FL – March 27, 2025** – Taylor Fritz is one step closer to winning the Sunshine Double after a hard-fought victory in the Miami Open quarterfinals. The 2022 Indian Wells champion defeated Matteo Berrettini in a thrilling 7-5, 6-7(7), 7-5 match, overcoming six match points in the second set to advance to the semifinals.
Fritz, ranked fourth in the world, will face 19-year-old Czech Jakub Mensik in the semifinals. Mensik, a surprising semifinalist, has enjoyed a strong run in Miami, defeating Roberto Bautista Agut, Jack Draper, Roman Safiullin, and Arthur Fils en route to his first Masters 1000 semi-final appearance. He also received a walkover in the fourth round.
While Fritz boasts a significant advantage in experience and overall game, having previously defeated Mensik in straight sets at the 2023 US Open, Mensik’s improved game makes him a dangerous opponent. Experts predict a Fritz victory, however, citing his superior forehand, second serve, and overall game.
