McCartney Kessler vs Magdalena Frech prediction
McCartney Kessler lost in the first-round of Indian Wells to Zeynep Sonmez but fared better in Austin a week later as she made the quarter-finals. Nevertheless, she would lose in three sets to Kimberley Birrell. She also reached the last eight at the Abu Dhabi Open, and Kessler has won six of her 12 matches in 2026 so far.
She faces Magdalena Frech in Miami. The Pole also suffered an early exit at Indian Wells as Storm Hunter came from a set down to beat her in the first-round. This would have been a disappointment for Frech after her form heading into the event, as she had just reached the final of the Merida Open a few days earlier.
Kessler will look to be aggressive on this fast surface, but Frech cannot be completely ruled out in this match. There is no strong favourite, and this could go to a third set.
McCartney Kessler vs Magdalena Frech tip: Both players to win a set
