THE PREDICTION

World number nine Maria Sakkari passed a really significant test on Thursday with a consummate, straight-sets victory over Yue Yuan. The 28-year-old joined up with new coach David Witt after a poor start to 2024, splitting from long-term coach Tom Hill, and the results spoke for themselves at Indian Wells last time out as she out-fought the likes of Coco Gauff and in-form Emma Navarro before defeat in the final to Iga Swiatek. Bouncing back with a win straight away in Miami further suggests the Greek could be turning a corner after several seasons of intermittent, at best, form and she looks well capable of rolling through this first meeting with Dayana Yastremska.

World number 33 Yastremska beat Daria Savile in straight sets on Thursday to kick-start her Miami campaign but the Ukrainian has struggled to maintain any sort of consistency since getting her career back on track with a run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open. The 23-year-old has failed to win back-to-back matches on tour since to make taking Sakkari to win outright the sensible call and straight sets a reasonable risk.

TIP: MARIA SAKKARI TO WIN 2-0
