THE PREDICTION

Two young up-and-coming Russians will meet on tour for the first time in one of the tougher matches to call on Wednesday. 19-year-old Erika Andreeva brings a career-high WTA world ranking of 94th into Miami with the hopes of at least emulating her excellent debut here last season, where she beat fellow youngster Ashlyn Krueger before a tight three-set exit to Magdalena Frech. Andreeva took Danielle Collins to two tight tiebreaks at this stage of Indian Wells two weeks ago before a run to the quarter-finals of a quality Challenger event in Charleston to look the slight favourite here, particularly as 21-year-old Avanesyan has mostly enjoyed her best results on clay so far in her career, but the elder Russian stunned Maria Sakkari en-route to the third round of the Australian Open in January to prove her credentials in these conditions. Back Andreeva to earn at least a set with the better recent form to leave the victor up to chance.

TIP: ERIKA ANDREEVA TO WIN A SET
