Tiafoe is through to his first 1000-level quarterfinal since contesting the biggest title match of his career with Sinner. When asked by Amritraj if he utilizes visualization, the 28-year-old shared, “I definitely take a second and think about the positive things that may go on in a match. As of late, I close my eyes and think about shaking the guy’s hand with the win. Positive plays are going to help me win. Kind of put myself in that position before it already happens. I think that’s very real. Manifestation is monumental.”
The world No. 20 has quite the challenge in front of him against Sinner. The four-time major winner has taken four of their five meetings, as he continues his quest to complete a maiden Sunshine Double.
In addition to his set streak at the 1000s, Sinner has clinched 28 consecutive victories against American opponents dating back to the 2023 Shanghai Masters.
“Big Foe, Lulu Foe, all this, but Miami Foe looks good” closed Amritraj.
Laughed Tiafoe, “Miami Foe is tough, bro. No question.”
