THE PREDICTION

World number 29 Dan Evans received a bye to the second round here in Miami after success on tour already this season as he won his first ATP title at the Murray River Open earlier this year. The 30-year-old will face Frances Tiafoe for a fourth time and leads their head-to-head record 2-1 at this point having won the most recent meeting at the European Open last year in straight sets. 23-year-old Tiafoe survived an early Miami Open scare to come back from a set down against Stefano Travaglia late on Wednesday and has performed very well in his native state in recent years. This looks set to be a fascinating encounter that will likely require a third set before a winner is found but on this occasion 19th seed Evans has more weapons on court and should be able to edge through in three.
