THE PREDICTION

World number seven made a big statement for his potential success this season as he won the Mexican Open final at the second time of asking, beating tournament favourite Stefanos Tsitsipas in a comprehensive straight-sets performance. The German has 14 ATP titles to his name and is still just 23 years old, with plenty of scope for a very deep run at this Masters event with no “top three” player present. This will be a fascinating first match in Miami all the same for Zverev, though, as Finland’s rising star Emil Ruusuvuori won a match full of “next gen” talent by beating Carlos Alcaraz in the first round over three sets. The feel-good factor in Acapulco last week is likely to have spilled over into this tournament for Zverev and that should see him take this in straight sets but Ruusuvuori forcing a tiebreak or even a set would not be a huge surprise.
