Monday night’s session of the hard-court ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Miami brought a few surprises. Félix Auger-Aliassime and Frances Tiafoe were eliminated in the third round.

Félix Auger-Aliassime and Francisco Cerundolo met for the third time in less than three months. In January, at the Australian Open and two weeks ago in Indian Wells, the Canadian was better. On Monday, in the third round of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Miami, the Argentine repented of these defeats and unexpectedly won 6: 2, 7: 5.

By beating Auger-Aliassime, currently sixth, the 24-year-old Cerundolo earned his third career victory against a Top 10 opponent. “I think I played much better than in my previous matches with him.” The key was that I was able to handle his serve more effectively and had more confidence.

Seeded number 25. Cerundolo will face Lorenzo Sonego in the 1/8 finals. The Italian in the rain-interrupted duel with Frances Tiafoe unexpectedly defeated the American scored “12” 6:3, 6:4.

Mackenzie McDonald’s defeat is also a surprise. The American lost 6:7(2), 3:6 to lower ranked Quentin Halys. The Frenchman will face fourth seed Daniil Medvedev in the fourth round.
