THE PREDICTION
World number 10 Jelena Ostapenko enjoyed a blistering start to 2024, picking up her seventh and eighth WTA titles in Adelaide and Linz, but she brings a two-match losing streak into Miami after a shock exit to Angelique Kerber at Indian Wells. The 26-year-old has the power to blast Laura Siegemund off the court in straight sets in these conditions but dark arts specialist Siegemund will know her best route to victory is through frustrating her opponent to make this first meeting between the two a must-watch for aggro fans. 36-year-old Siegemund has enjoyed something of a renaissance in singles over the past 12 months and she brings some solid momentum into this intriguing clash having qualified before a comeback over Aleksandra Krunic on Tuesday. The suitably cautious pick is backing Ostapenko to win outright but you could consider three sets as a one off.
TIP: JELENA OSTAPENKO TO WIN
