Form and momentum in Miami
Sinner is 23-3 at this tournament overall. He owns one title here in 2024 and two runner-up finishes.
He reached the last four with straight-set wins over Damir Dzumhur, Cotentin Moutet, Alex Michelsen, and Frances Tiafoe. Tiafoe managed just four games in their match.
Carlos Alcaraz was eliminated almost a week ago. That removal of a top rival has intensified Sinner’s favoritism for the trophy.
Zverev’s path and recent tests
Zverev beat Martin Damm and Francisco Cerundolo without major trouble. He needed two tiebreaks to get past Quentin Halys.
He was also pushed to three sets by Marin Cilic. Zverev looks solid, but his recent results required extra work.
Serving and break dynamics
Sinner has been broken only once in four matches at Miami. He has not been broken by Zverev in their last three meetings.
Those numbers suggest Sinner controls rallies and holds serve under pressure. Zverev will need an elevated level to change the trend.
