The 2025 Miami Open tennis tournament has now entered the quarter-finals. One of the interesting matches that will be presented at that stage is Matteo Berrettini's meeting against host Taylor Fritz.
The clashes of the two names will take place on Thursday, March 27, 2025 local time or Friday, March 28, 2025 at 06.00 WIB. Berrettini will be eyeing the third semifinals of the Masters 1000 in her career.
Berrettini from Italy has never won in a Florida-based event before this year's tournament. In addition, he has also not beaten Fritz in their four previous clashes at the ATP Tour.
On the other hand, Fritz has never lost a set in Miami to reach his second quarter-finals in the same event. He previously also reached the same stage in 2023, but failed to reach the semifinals due to losing against Carlos Alcaraz.
Fritz, who is currently ranked fourth in the world, is actually not very prominent this year. He was recorded only reaching one quarter-final before playing the first pair of Masters tournaments this year.
However, he will certainly be eyeing a better result from 2023 and chasing his fifth win over Berrettini. Fritz is currently recorded as having a 13-5 win-loss record after he beat Adam plan to reach the quarter-finals in Miami.
In addition, the third seed aims to achieve the best record of entering the first semifinals of his career when playing in home tournaments. However, the struggle to get there is not going to be easy against Berrettini.
Setelah memasuki turnamen tahun ini tanpa kemenangan, Berrettini semungkinan baru hanya ingin mengakhiri rekor kemenang-kalah 0-3 di Miami Masters sebelum pertandingan babak kedua melawan Hugo Gaston.

However, the 10-time ATP champion from Italy has secured two additional wins since a comeback against Gaston. He eliminated Zizou Bergs and Australia's number one Alex De Minaur to enter the top eight elite ranks in the event for the first time.
Berrettini has not reached this stage in the Masters tournament since 2021 in Madrid. At that time he managed to advance to the title race, but lost to Alexander Zverev. In addition, Berrettini has not yet reached the quarter-finals on the hard field since 2019 after reaching the semifinals in Shanghai.
Defeating De Minaur, the former world number six won three consecutive wins for the first time this season. The 29th seed will aim for four consecutive wins and a 10th win to increase his 9-6 record by 2025.
Previously, Berrettini's four defeats against Fritz all took place on the hard field. He also has a disappointing record of winning 1-8 against the top 10. So obviously efforts to reach the semifinals in Miami will be a tough job for Berrettini.
