THE PREDICTION

World number 54 Emil Ruusuvuori upset Roberto Bautista Agut two weeks ago at Indian Wells and took Alexander Zverev to three sets before defeat in the third round. The Finn’s best match on tour was probably a shock win over Zverev here two years ago but whilst he is clearly capable of a higher level than his current ranking suggests it has been a choppy start to 2023. 26-year-old Nuno Borges set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 68th this week after winning the high-quality Phoenix Challenger last weekend and he qualified well as the top seed to make his Masters debut here in Miami. The quick turnaround in matches may catch up with the Portuguese at some point soon but the adrenalin of enjoying the best form of his career so far should help a little with any potential fatigue. Back Borges to earn at least a set here as the just-about likelier victor on momentum more than anything.
