THE PREDICTION
22-year-old Hailey Baptiste set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 96th after an impressive stint at Indian Wells two weeks ago, qualifying well before a tight three-set exit to Madison Keys in the second round, The DC native should cope well with the notoriously challenging heat in Miami at this time of year and she will be backed to the hilt as the home underdog against an up-and-coming talent here in Xinyu Wang, who has occasionally faltered in these occasions. World number 43 Wag, also 22, stunned Beatrix Haddad-Maia in straight sets at the Qatar Masters last month but she has struggled to push on much since, with the form that took her to the round of 16 at the US Open last summer still out of reach. Back Baptiste, with plenty of promise of her own, to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: HAILEY BAPTISTE TO WIN A SET
