THE PREDICTION

This is an interesting rematch between world number 53 Mikael Ymer and number 93 Alexei Popyrin after the Aussie won their round of 16 clash at the Phoenix Challenger last week. A first tour-level meeting between the two feels like edging Popyrin’s way once again in Miami where the faster courts should favour his big serve but neither player came out if Indian Wells with much to shout about. 23-year-old Popyrin has won just one tour-level match since upsetting Taylor Fritz at the Australian Open as he continues to struggle with consistency but Ymer has struggled on tour ever since an initially encouraging run to the quarter-finals at Adelaide 2. Back Popyrin to edge this outright.
