We already have defined the Miami Open 2022 men’s semifinals. It has been more than a week of competition and there are only four men left in the running, with some pleasant surprises. On the one hand, Hubert Hurkacz and Carlos Alcaraz, and, on the other, Fran Cerúndolo and Casper Ruud. One that was probably already expected at this point in the tournament and another or others, which, perhaps, did not enter many bets.
These matches will be between the best tennis players of this tournament, so 2 very complete matches are coming up full of many emotions.

At 23 years old, the Argentinian Cerúndolo is living the dream week of his entire career as a professional. This is his first M1000, he came to this event after never winning a hard court match at the ATP level, and now he is one step away from being one of the finalists in Miami. He has indeed had the help of luck, with two withdrawals (Opelka, due to shoulder problems, and Sinner, due to blisters on his feet), but he beat Monfils very well and held Tiafoe for two sets until the American accused the effort physically.
On the other hand, Casper Ruud barely has a few holes in his tennis, he moves well from both sides of the court and is serving at an excellent level. In Miami, only against Zverev did he drop below 80% of points won with his first serve (with 78%), but, in the rest, he surpassed them and even widely (86.2%, 84.8%, and 84.6%), a real barbarity for a tennis player who does not stand out, especially for this blow.
The Norwegian is the favorite for this match, but if Cerúndolo can play with his rival’s nerves, hold him until the decisive games of the set with everything even, maybe he can have a little hope there.
Casper Ruud vs. Francisco Cerúndolo Betting Pick: Casper Ruud
Miami Open: Hubert Hurkacz vs. Carlos Alcaraz

The Polish Hurkacz had a tough nut to crack in his match against one of the best tennis players in the world, the Russian Medvedev, but he solved it with honors. He has earned being among the top four in the tournament and that is because Hubert feels great in Miami, where he is also in the doubles final.
In front, he will have the young promise of Spanish tennis, Carlos Alcaraz, who comes with a lot of confidence for this match and has shown that his level of play is very high, so the expectations for Alcaraz are very high.
Hubert Hurkacz vs. Carlos Alcaraz Betting Pick: Carlos Alcaraz
