THE PREDICTION
World number 58 Alexander Shevchenko reached the quarter-finals of the Rotterdam Open with some excellent results over Holger Rune and Zhizhen Zhang, and an equally impressive exit to Grigor Dimitrov in three, but he has struggled to find the same intensity since. The Kazakh snapped a three-match losing streak at Indian Wells two weeks ago but he was forced to retire injured in the following round to leave some doubts about his overall fitness coming into Miami. World number 84 Daniel Elahi Galan brings a poor 2-5 record for 2024 into Miami but the Colombian is a capable player on hardcourts, with that memorable upset over Stefanos Tsitsipas at the US Open two years ago still lingering in the memory. Leave this tricky first encounter out of an accumulator considering Shevchenko’s recent results but otherwise back the Kazakh to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
