TENNIS : JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO EDGES MILOS RAONIC IN QF TIE-BREAK DECIDER; REACHES SEMI-FINALS AT MIAMI OPEN !

- Thursday, March 29, 2018

Edit this post

TENNIS : JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO EDGES MILOS RAONIC IN QF TIE-BREAK DECIDER; REACHES SEMI-FINALS AT MIAMI OPEN !

Lionel Messi's fans from football-crazy Argentina seem to be all in Miami right now firing up Juan Martin Del Potro at the Miami Open @MiamiOpen, as the Argentine giant guns for his record "Sunshine Double".

Juan Martin Del Porto @DelPotroJuan rallied from behind, to steal victory in the Quarter-Finals from Canada's Milos Raonic @Milos Raonic who took the First Set, but cracked in the Second Set and in the Third Set's Tie-Break decider.

The match lasted almost 3 hours, with an electric raucous Del Potro crowd, 5-7; 7-6; 7-6.

Del Potro faces American John Isner next in the Semis.

Just 10 days ago, Juan Martin Del Potro took the Indian Wells Masters Title from Roger Federer - - dramatically saving 3 Championship points on Federer's serve - - in an epic Championship Finals thriller.

If he also wins the Miami Open, he completes the so-called "Sunshine Double" - - a feat, only the elite few in tennis have accomplished.
