- Top seed and Indian Wells champion shocked in last eight
- ‘Sometimes simplicity is genius,’ says Bulgarian victor
Carlos Alcaraz’s hopes for a Sunshine Double came undone in spectacular fashion after the top seed lost 6-2, 6-4 on Thursday to Grigor Dimitrov, who will move on to face Alexander Zverev in the Miami Open semi-finals.
Dimitrov, the 11th seed, won 77% of his first-serve points compared to just 56% for Alcaraz. He also won four of the five break points he faced and broke the Spaniard four times during the 92-minute encounter.
