Ideas on the Draw

The highest seed is Carlos Alcaraz, and he has an attention-grabbing draw to navigate with a possible third-round assembly with Andy Murray.

Murray has been again in good type and usually performs effectively in Miami, so I’d prefer to see that match occur and see if Murray may cause him any issues like he’s achieved with the likes of Kyrgios. Nonetheless, the Brit has to get by Dusan Lajovic and Maxime Cressy to make that occur, which isn’t simple.

From there, Alcaraz is seeded to face ninth seed Taylor Fritz or seventh seed Holger Rune within the quarter-finals and will face off towards Jannik Sinner within the semi-finals, whom he beat on the similar stage in Indian Wells.

Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud are the opposite high seeds on this half, with Ruud defending huge factors from his runners-up place final 12 months.

Within the backside half, Stefanos Tsitsipas is the second seed and will probably be seeking to bounce again from his early loss in Indian Wells.

The Greek has been nursing a shoulder drawback lately, however he’s had two weeks of relaxation which ought to have helped. He’s seeded to fulfill seventh seed Felix Auger-Aliassime within the final eight. Frances Tiafoe and Karen Khacahnov are additionally on this quarter.

Indian Wells runner-up Daniil Medvedev additionally finds himself within the backside half of the draw. He’s seeded to fulfill Matteo Berrettini within the fourth spherical and Hubert Hurkacz or Cameron Norrie within the quarter-finals. 

Based mostly on his present type Berrettini doesn’t appear a lot of a menace, having misplaced early in Palm Spring and on the Phoenix Challenger, he entered final week.

Hurkacz lifted the Miami crown in 2021 and made final 12 months’s semi-final, so he likes the circumstances right here, and that will probably be a tough opponent for Medvedev ought to they meet. 

Based mostly on the draw, wanting previous Alcaraz, Hurkacz, Medvedev and Sinner as gamers who can do effectively is troublesome.

Zverev is one to look at to see if he continues his enchancment post-injury, and I’d count on Tiafoe to be there or thereabouts.

Kecmanovic can even play effectively within the Florida warmth, and Ruud is a little bit of an unknown, given the beginning of his season.

Fascinating First-Spherical Matches

The opening rounds look fairly skinny up to now when it comes to high quality or potential for pleasure, however that may all change as soon as the qualifiers are added.
