Top seed Daniil Medvedev will face off against Andy Murray in the second round of the Miami Open on Saturday. The Russian has had a great season so far. He reached his second consecutive grand slam final at the Australian Open this year, losing to Rafael Nadal. He followed it by becoming the new World No.1, after Novak Djokovic lost in the quarterfinals of the Dubai Tennis Championships. An early loss at the Indian Wells Masters resulted in him falling to the No.2 ranking. Murray’s season so far has been a mixed bag of sorts. After reaching the final at the Sydney International, he faced 4 consecutive second-round losses. Having received a wildcard, Murray reached the 2nd round of the Miami Open after beating Federico Delbonis in straight sets.

Daniil Medvedev Vs Andy Murray Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?
Medvedev will head into the mathc as the favourite. He has been in top form recently, and he is arguably the best player in the world on hard courts today. He also has a big serve and great court coverage which Murray will find hard to penetrate. While Murray has been playing well, especially against top ranked players, it will be a stretch for him to get past Medvedev.
Prediction: Medvedev to win in straight sets.
