Arthur Fils Upsets Top Seed Zverev at Miami Open

Arthur Fils, the 20-year-old French player, achieved a significant upset at the Miami Open by defeating top seed Alexander Zverev 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the fourth round. Despite battling back pain throughout the match, Fils displayed remarkable determination, rallying from a set down and showcasing his powerful forehand to secure the victory. He will now face 19-year-old Czech Jakub Mensik in the quarter-finals, both vying for their first Masters 1000 semi-final spot. The match was notably postponed due to rain, and Fils' performance marks him as the first Frenchman to reach the quarter-finals in both the Indian Wells and Miami events since Gael Monfils in 2016. In other matches, Grigor Dimitrov also advanced by defeating Francisco Cerundolo in a close contest. Fils' ability to overcome Zverev, a top player, highlights his potential in the tournament.
