THE PREDICTION

World number 104 James Duckworth did well to weather a fightback from Mischa Zverev on Wednesday and faces an interesting prospect in eighth seed David Goffin. The 30-year-old Belgian did win his fifth ATP title recently, at the Montpellier Open, but he has also been in questionable form throughout the last year and enters the Miami Open on a two-match losing streak and a 9-6 record for 2021. With a new coach and time still needed for proper recalibration, Goffin is still suspect to the unpredictable right now and that could see a surprising third set play out here. The best, uninspiring route here, is simply for the world number 13 to win outright. Take him to come through via a decider for a reasonable risk.
