THE PREDICTION
World number 46 Emil Ruusuvuori has started 2024 in fine form, finishing runner-up to Andrey Rublev at the Hong Kong Open in January before a five-set exit to eventual runner-up Daniil Medvedev at the Australian Open. Notably, the Finn has a strange affinity for the Sunshine Double that has seen him win each of his six previous first round matches at either Indian Wells and the Miami Open, with a particular penchant for the latter seeing him reach the quarter-finals in Florida last season, losing to Jannik Sinner after it took Alexander Zverev to oust him from the third round here. World number 56 Dusan Lajovic is always capable of a brief flash of brilliance on tour, albeit usually on clay, but those moments are becoming fewer and further between. Recent wins over the likes of Arthur Fils, Alejandro Tabilo and Laslo Djere say the Serb can be competitive in this clash, as does his 1-0 lead over Ruusuvuori, but back the Finn to win outright here in conditions that suit him far better.
TIP: EMIL RUUSUVUORI TO WIN
