Miami Open

Iga Swiatek, of Poland, returns a shot to Elena Rybakina, of Kazakhstan, during a semifinal match at the BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament Friday, ...

A likely showdown with Sabalenka in the semifinals could be a stiff test, but if you’re getting +2200 odds on a player who has a good path to being one of the four final players in the Miami Open, it’s an enticing proposition. Iga Swiatek (+175) is the easy bet since she’s clearly the favorite at the Miami Open, but she also admitted that she wasn’t playing at 100% during Indian Wells because of a rib injury. In her one chance to win a title, she was defeated in a straight-sets beatdown by Swiatek in the Doha final, but she has a good draw and finds herself on Swiatek’s side of the bracket, so if the Pole isn’t healthy, a trip to the finals could be in the cards. [was just recently stunned by Elena Rybakina in the semi-finals of Indian Wells](https://www.eurosport.com/tennis/wta-indian-wells/2023/indian-wells-elena-rybakina-beats-iga-swiatek-will-meet-aryna-sabalenka-in-final-after-belarusian-be_sto9515226/story.shtml), so there will be no Sunshine Double this year. Last year, Poland’s Iga Swiatek defeated Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-0 to win her third consecutive WTA 1000 of the season and extend her win streak to 17 matches. Along with the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, the Miami Open is a joint ATP/WTA tournament where the men’s and women’s tournaments will be going on at the same time.

Rybakina; Sabalenka d. Semifinals: Pegula d. Sabalenka will start against either Shelby Rogers or Sloane Stephens, but her toughest competition could come from Barbora Krejcikova in the fourth round. She has a title this season; does she have a deep run at a 1000 in her, too? Miami is where things began to go south for her in 2022. Speaking of Sakkari, was her semifinal run in Indian Wells a sign that she has stabilized? She’s in Gauff’s half of this section, and is due to make some noise. Like Jabeur, her presumed breakout season has yet to materialize (missed Indian Wells with injury). For Coco Gauff, it’s probably a relief not to be anywhere near either Swiatek or Aryna Sabalenka in the draw; she has lost love sets to both recently, and she lost badly to Swiatek in Miami a year ago. Hopefully Parks, an American up-and-comer and already a champion in Lyon, can improve on her performance in Indian Wells, where she lost 6-1, 6-1 in the first round to Anna Kalinskaya. She’ll start against either Claire Liu or Katerina Siniakova, and the first seed she could face is Martina Trevisan. Miami, USA

7:00 pm Since Wolf reached the Dallas semifinals last month, he's posted a 1-3 record and, like Bublik, should be very hungry for Hard Rock success. The big-serving Bublik is 1-10 in all other Tour-level tournaments, including opening-round exits in Auckland, Australian Open, Rotterdam, Montpellier and Indian Wells. French fans were already out in force watching Benoit Paire's qualifying match on Monday and this all-French affair figures to be a fan-friendly clash. As expected, Monfils showed signs of rust playing his first match in nearly seven months, he won four games against Jordan Thompson in Indian Wells. Humbert showed it outlasting Monfils in five sets in their only meeting at the 2019 Wimbledon.

The other half of the 2023 Miami Open women’s draw is less fraught. Big Foe has a shot to come through this quarter to take advantage of a subpar Tsitsipas. (You’ll notice he made the finals.) I’ll be interested to see if the Miami courts are to Meddy’s liking. She’s seeded 7 in this tournament, but the top seed in her quarter is Ons Jabeur, who’s been battling injuries. The current world #2 trails only Caroline Garcia in most of the major serving categories, including percentage of service games won at 86%. Americans Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff bookend the adjacent quarter with Victoria Azarenka in the middle. She’ll be seeking the back half of the Sunshine Slam, and fatigue could be a factor. Having lost to Elena in their two previous meetings this year, they could meet as early as the quarterfinals. Iga got unlucky with this 2023 Miami Open draw: She drew the hot-handed Rybakina in her section.

[Caroline Garcia](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/caroline-garcia-2663) - Garcia has lost 7-5 in the third in each of her last two tournaments, falling to [Donna Vekic](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/donna-vekic-3978) in the Monterrey Open final and [Sorana Cirstea](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/sorana-cirstea-2381) in the Round of 16 at Indian Wells.

The second ATP Masters 1000 on US soil is about to begin after Carlos Alcaraz lifted the Indian Wells Trophy on Sunday. Who will reign supreme in Miami?

But can he record back-to-back wins in Indian Wells and Miami? The Spanish superstar won the third Masters 1000 of his career and took the world No. The Russian talent added another extra five wins to his run to get to the Indian Wells final, but he ultimately tasted defeat to Carlos Alcaraz.

He will likely face Auger-Aliassime in the fourth round, but I think that Tiafoe has the game to beat the Canadian on these courts, and that would set up a semi-final showdown against either Stefanos Tsitsipas or perhaps Karen Khachanov. Tiafoe is 14-4 to start 2023 and has already won an ATP tournament when he took down the United Cup in Australia prior to the Australian Open. If you can find odds on him to win his quarter of the Miami Open, I would also definitely take a shot on those. Zverev started out the year slowly, perhaps still struggling with his ankle injury, but he has been in good form of late, going 5-2 in his last two tournaments with his losses coming to 6th-ranked Andrey Rublev and Medvedev. In this article, we’ll delve into the list of favorites, players to watch, and dark horses to win the second Masters 1000 tournament of the year. Elsewhere, seventh-seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, who is currently at a career-high 6th in the ATP Rankings, could play Indian Wells semi-finalist Frances Tiafoe in the fourth round as Tiafoe looks to break into the top ten.

We explore the Spaniard's chances of completing the Sunshine Double, and the players with the best chance of stopping his title defense.

At the moment, though, it has run out of gas. Over the second half of 2022, the Thiem revival began to pick up a head of steam. Felix Auger-Aliassime and Frances Tiafoe are the top names in the opposite half from Tsitsipas. At the top of this post I mentioned that Djokovic and Medvedev have each had hot streaks this season, and Alcaraz looks poised to start one of his own. The winner gets Rublev. The American will start against Alexander Bublik. On paper, Ruud looks safe, until a possible fourth-round meeting with Alexander Zverev; the German played like his old set in Dubai and Indian Wells, and has been to the final in Miami before. So far in 2023 he’s gone out early in Australia, Acapulco, and Indian Wells. While he aggravated a leg injury last month, he didn’t appear to have any physical trouble this past week, and his final-round win over Medvedev hardly required a Herculean effort. We’ve had a Daniil Medvedev part of the season. We’ve had a Novak Djokovic part of the season. Miami, USA
