Rei Sakamoto vs Daniil Medvedev prediction
Daniil Medvedev will kick off his Miami campaign in confident mood.
The Russian looks to be back to his hardcourt best, narrowly losing to Jannik Sinner in the Indian Wells final last week.
First up, he meets Rei Sakamoto, who bagged his first tour-level win when the 19-year-old Japanese starlet beat Aleksandar Kovacevic 6-4 3-6 7-6.
The world number 164’s samurai celebration was the talk of the tournament for a few hours, but don’t expect to see it again in Miami with Medvedev in efficient and ruthless form on serve and with consistency from the baseline.
