THE PREDICTION
World number nine Belinda Bencic conceded just two games to Leylah Fernandez in an impressive start to her Miami Open campaign, reacting well to her early defeat to compatriot Jil Teichmann at Indian Wells last time out. The 25-year-old started 2023 on fire under new coach Dmitry Tursunov, winning Adelaide 2 and the Abu Dhabi Open before more recently struggling with potential fatigue in Doha and Dubai. This looks like the Swiss match to lose after world number 18 Ekaterina Alexandrova needed three tight sets to overcome Taylor Townsend on Friday. The 28-year-old has struggled to impose herself on this season’s tournaments so far but she should bot be underestimated in this sixth meeting with Bencic as she only trails by one win in a 3-2 head-to-head record. Bencic beat the Russian in straight sets almost a year ago on her way to the Charleston Open title on clay but it would be sensible to take her to win outright here.
