Top seed Carlos Alcaraz has been the star kid that has got the whole world talking and he will be even more confident at the Miami Open after his recent win at the Indian Wells Masters where he beat Medvedev in the finals. At the Swiss Indoors, he made it to the semi-finals losing to Auger-Aliassime in straight sets, and at the Paris Masters, he had to withdraw from the match against Rune when the latter was winning that match 3-6, 6-6. He was a huge success at the US Open after which he took a month’s gap from tennis. He beat Ruud in the final in what was a four-set thriller for the fans. In the Rio Open, he again made it to the finals but this time lost the title despite winning the first set of the match to Cameron Norrie who took revenge for his defeat in Argentina. In the ongoing Miami Open, he beat Bagnis in the first-round matchup by 6-0, 6-2, and in the second round, he beat Lajovic by 6-0, 7-6. In the round of 16 matchup, he beat Tommy Paul by 6-4, 6-4.
9th seed Taylor Fritz hasn’t been in good touch lately and has been losing all the recent tournaments he has played in. He will be adamant to make a change in fortune and perform well at the ongoing Miami Open. He couldn’t make it past the second stage mark in any of his last tournaments, losing to Shopavalov at the Vienna Open, to Gilles Simon at the Paris Masters, and to Poyrin at the Australian Open. At the ATP World Tour Finals, he beat Auger-Alliassime and Nadal to make it to the semis only to lose to Djokovic. At the Dallas Open, he made it to the semi-finals where he lost to Wu Yibing, and right after that, he lifted the Delray Beach Open beating the likes of Kecmanovic, McDonald, Mannarino, and Gomez on the way. In the ongoing Miami Open, he beat Nava in the first-round matchup by 6-4, 6-1, and in the second round, he beat Shapovalov by 6-4, 6-4. In the round of 16 matchup, he beat Rune by 6-3, 6-4.
