Keeping up with the game of tennis, by the numbers. Each day at Tennis Now we’ll give you a fresh set—without any further ado, here’s what happened over the weekend in Miami and how the Round of 16 is shaping up.
13
The length of Juan Martin del Potro’s current winning streak. The Tower of Tandil rolled past Kei Nishikori, 6-2, 6-2, on Sunday to book a round of 16 clash with Serbia’s Filip Krajinovic.
3
Number of match points saved by three-time Miami Open champion Venus Williams in her three-set win over Kiki Bertens on Sunday. Williams saved two with Bertens serving at 5-3, and another while serving at 4-5. She improves to 63-14 lifetime at Miami and will face defending champion Johanna Konta in the round of 16.
7
Number of American men into the third round at Miami. That total is the most since 1996, when eight reached the third round. However, two (Jared Donaldson and Michael Mmoh) have already fallen in third-round action. Sam Querrey, Frances Tiafoe, Steve Johnson and Jack Sock are all in action today. John Isner moved into the round of 16 on Sunday with a win over Mikhail Youzhny.
17-6
The impressive record of South Korea’s Hyeon Chung after his 6-1, 6-1 win over Michael Mmoh on Sunday. The 21-year-old has reached five quarterfinals already this season and he’ll bid for his sixth against Joao Sousa in the round of 16.
0
Number of teenagers that reached the round of 16 at Miami. At the BNP Paribas Open there were two (Anisimova, Vondrousova).
175
The current ranking of Australia’s Thanasi Kokkinakis. The 21-year-old became the lowest-ranked player to defeat a reigning World No.1 in 15 years on Saturday when he knocked off Roger Federer.
15
Number of times that Roger Federer has lost to players ranked outside of the Top 100 in his career (at ATP level). The Swiss’ worst record by ranking was to World No.407 Bjorn Phau in Washington D.C. in 1999.
