Jannik Sinner saved five match points before advancing past Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta 5-7, 7-5, 7-5 in the third round of the Miami Open on Sunday, while second seed Alexander Zverev enjoyed a much smoother path to the last 16.
Carreno Busta had Sinner on the ropes in the 10th game of the second set, nearly breaking him for the match before the Italian recovered to hold serve and convert on a chance in the next game.
They traded breaks in the third before a marathon 10th game in which the Spaniard almost broke his opponent for the win four times.
World No 11 Sinner survived and converted on a chance in the next game to seize the advantage. Serving for the match, he clinched the affair with a forehand winner as the crowd leapt to its feet and cheered.
