Three minutes a day, knowing about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Friday, March 28, 2025, and welcome to listen to the afternoon news brought to you by "Tennis Home".

This morning, Beijing time, the ATP1000 Miami Masters ended the singles quarterfinals, and the semifinals were in place. In a head-to-head matchup, six-time champion Novak Djokovic played solidly, beating homegrown player Koda 6-3 7-6(4) to reach the semi-finals for the first time in nine years and reach the semi-finals of the Masters for the 79th time in his career, two wins away from his 100th career title.

At 37 years and 10 months, Djokovic also snatched the record of 37 years and 7 months for the oldest Masters semi-finalist player since 1990, held by Swiss king Federer. He will next face Bulgaria's Dimitrov for a place in the final.

In the previous head-to-head record, Djokovic has a 12-1 lead over Dimitrov and has maintained a 10-game winning streak. Is there any hope for Dimi to pull one back this time?

In another youth matchup, 19-year-old Czech rising star Mensik defeated 20-year-old French rising star Fez 7-6(5) 6-1 to advance to the semi-finals of the Masters for the first time in his career. Mensik thus became the first Czech to reach the semi-finals in Miami since Berdych in 2015, and the first post-05 to advance to the semi-finals of the Masters.

In the semi-finals, he will face American brother Fritz, who defeated Italy's Berrettini 7-5 6-7 7-5 to win all five of his meetings, reaching the semi-finals for the first time and the Masters semi-finals for the sixth time. In this matchup, Berrettini saved six match points at one point at the end of the second set and won the tie-break to equalize the set. Unfortunately, he failed to repeat his magic in the deciding set and lost the tournament.

Women's Field: Top seed and world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka was in red-hot form in the first semi-final of singles, beating sixth seed and Italian Cannon Paulini 6-2 6-2 to reach back-to-back finals for the 12th time in her career. After reaching the final, Sabalenka reached 10,191 points in the instant world ranking, breaking the 10,000-point mark.

In the second match, the local star Pegula faced off against the Philippine dark horse Yella. The match kicked off at 10:15 a.m. CST, with Pegula taking a 7-6 lead in the first set. As of press time, the second set was played to the seventh game, and the two are currently tied 3-3.
