Tennis Prediction
This will be the first meeting between these two players. Filip Krajinovic is far more consistent and solid than Liam Broady which makes him the favorite to win this second round clash.
Liam Broady News
Liam Broady defeated Bjorn Fratangelo in straight sets to register his first ever main draw win in an ATP Masters 1000 event. It was the Brit’s seventh win of the season from 16 outings (7/9).
Playing only the second Masters 1000 event of his career, Liam Broady has already secured three straight-set wins this week, having defeated Henri Laaksonen and Filip Peliwo in the qualifying stages.
The 24-year-old Broady was going through a five-match losing run before entering the Miami Open. Apart from progressing to the semifinal at Rennes Challenger, he couldn’t register any notable results so far this season.
Filip Krajinovic News
Filip Krajinovic got a first-round bye and will play his first match at the Miami Open since 2015. He has appeared here thrice in the past and reaching the second round once in 2015 (as a qualifier) is his best result in this tournament.
The Serbian’s record of progressively improving his results in every tournament this season was ended by Roger Federer at the Indian Wells earlier this month. Before facing a third-round exit at the Indian Wells, he faced the first-round exit at Doha, second round at Rotterdam, quarterfinal at Marseille and semifinal at Dubai.
Strong finish (runner-up at the Paris Masters) to an incredible 2017 season (71/22) and good recent results have pushed the Serbian to achieve his career-high ranking of #27 last week.
Tennis Prediction: Filip Krajinovic 2-0 SETS
Odds: 1.90
