ATP Masters 1000 Miami 1/16-Finals Overview
Shevchenko – Humbert: March 23, 2026, 16:00 CEST
Head-to-head: 0-3
Alexander Shevchenko has secured three wins in his last five matches. In Miami this week, Shevchenko advanced past Arnaldi in a three-set opening round, a battle lasting nearly three hours. He followed this with an upset victory over Shelton, also in three tight sets, despite dropping the first.
Ugo Humbert has recorded three losses in his last five matches. His campaign in Miami began with a confident straight-sets win against Diallo, where he successfully fended off all breakpoint opportunities.
Match Outlook
Ugo Humbert is considered the favorite in this contest. His 3-0 head-to-head record against Shevchenko, combined with his dominant first-round performance, suggests he is well-positioned. We anticipate him achieving a comfortable victory in straight sets.
Cerundolo – Medvedev: March 23, 2026, 17:00 CEST
Head-to-head: first meeting
Francisco Cerundolo has won three of his last five matches. This week in Miami, the Argentine triumphed over Tirante in straight sets in his opening match. He overcame an early 1-3 deficit in the first set to turn the match around.
Daniil Medvedev has won four of his last five matches. Last week at Indian Wells, Medvedev reached the final but was defeated by Sinner in two tie-breaks. The week prior, he claimed the ATP 500 title in Dubai. In his Miami opener, the Russian overcame Sakamoto in three sets, after losing the initial set 6-7.
Match Outlook
Daniil Medvedev is the clear favorite in this matchup. His exceptional consistency this season makes him a formidable opponent. We expect him to dictate play through dominant rallies and secure a straightforward win.

Terence Atmane has lost three of his last five matches. This tournament marks his debut in a main draw event in Miami. He advanced through the first round by defeating Altmaier in straight sets, and then outlasted Rinderknech, also in straight sets, in the second round.
Match Outlook
Felix Auger-Aliassime is the favored player in this encounter. His strong performances over the past few weeks have been notable. If he maintains this level of play, he is expected to climb into the top 5 rankings. We believe Auger-Aliassime will deliver a superior performance tonight.
