Almost two weeks ago, John Isner praised his partner at the time, Jack Sock, after winning the final in Indian Wells, proclaiming him the best doubles player in the world. But as shown in Miami: Isner himself must have outstanding qualities in pair skating. Because the American veteran is ahead of the Sunshine Double in doubles. If he can also win the final against Neal Skupski and Wesley Koolhof with Hubert Hurkacz.
Hurkacz is still on two missions in Miami, on Thursday the defending champion had reached the semi-finals in singles with a two-set win against Daniil Medvedev. And thereby ensured that Novak Djokovic will remain number one in the ATP world rankings. Together with Isner, the Pole did not stay long with the Australian Open champions Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios a few hours after this coup. Hurkacz/Isner won the semi-final against the two Australians 6:4 and 6:3.
Koolhof and Skupski had to fight harder against the Italian doyens Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini . But in the end they won 6: 1, 3: 6 and 10: 5. For the Dutchman and his British partner it is already the fourth final of the year. The previous three in Doha, Adelaide and Melbourne have each won Koolhof/Skupski.
