THE PREDICTION

World number 149 Mirjam Bjorklund came back from a set down to beat Jasmine Paolini on Tuesday to make a rare foray into the second round of a Masters tournament. The 24-year-old beat two tough players to qualify for the main draw this week but this looks too steep a climb against world number 22 Jelena Ostapenko. 25-year-old Ostapenko came very close to beating Petra Kvitova in the third round of Indian Wells last time out and she will be eager to start Miami the same way she ended in the desert. Four of the last five players to beat Ostapenko are top 10 quality, past or present, and the Latvian rarely gets shocked by someone ranked outside the top 50. Back Ostapenko to win in straight sets here.
