MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — It was midway through the second set and Daniil Medvedev was standing several feet behind the baseline.

Hubert Hurkacz was on the other side and looked like he was having a day at the beach. He won’t be No. 1 in the world when the Miami Open is over. He made sure Medvedev won’t be, either. Hurkacz moved two wins away from defending his Miami title by wearing down the top-seeded Medvedev 7-6 (7), 6-3 in a men’s quarterfinal.
