 Carlos Elcros vs. Taylor Fritz is the second quarterfinal for the Miami Open for the men for 2023. And both players have been super impressive to get to the quarterfinals. Fritz started the tournament off as the number 9 seed and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round he take on the wild card Nava, who had just taken out Jon Isner in a close first round. This was no problem for Fritz getting through in straight sets, 6-4-6-1. In the third round he take on the number 24 seed Shapovalov. We had a losing record against, but again this was no problem for Fritz getting through in straight sets, 6-4-6-4. In the fourth round he take on the number 7 seed Runa, fellow top 10 player and a man he's never played before. Fortunately Runa was not on his game this day and Fritz destroyed him 6-3-6-4 to get to the quarterfinals. Elcros started the tournament off as the number 1 seed and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round he take on Bagnes and as expected he won in straight sets 6-love 6-2. In the third round he take on Lyovic, a man he'd already played two times in the last couple of months. But again, like those two other times, Elcros was winning in straight sets 6-love 7-6. In the fourth round he take on the number 16 seed Paul, who had beaten Elcros in Canada last year after saving match points. This time Elcros would get his revenge, winning 6-4-6-4 and getting to the quarterfinals of Miami. These guys have actually never played before, which is kind of crazy because they are a similar generation and also over the last 12 to 18 months they've been very, very competitive, but they've never crossed paths in the first time meeting. Fritz is going to win this one, he's going to have to serve well, he's going to have to really be aggressive against Elcros. Most of the guys that Elcros have played this week have been defensive and just kind of counter punching. Now we do know Fritz has got a big game, so he's going to have to use that to his advantage. If Elcros is going to win this one, he needs to use the variety. That's what he does every single match he plays, and Fritz is a little bit more like Medvedev from last week in Indian Wells with a big serving and maybe not the greatest movement. And Fritz does have a little bit of struggling when he moves. Elcros needs to get aggressive and I think come to the net and really use that variety to chop Fritz up. This is going to be a very interesting match because we've never seen them play before, despite both of them being in the top 10 for almost a year now. But I'm going to go with Elcros to win this one in three sets. I think it's going to be tough. I think he's going to drop his first set for the week. And Fritz's serve is going to come to the rescue, but I think Elcros is going to get the win in three in the end. Let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think is going to win this quarter final?
