ATP Masters 1000 Miami: Round of 32 Previews
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Alex de Minaur
Date: March 21, 2026, 00:30 CEST
Head-to-Head: Tsitsipas leads 11-1
Stefanos Tsitsipas enters this match having won two of his last five outings. At Indian Wells two weeks prior, he exited in the opening round after a three-set loss to Shapovalov. However, his Miami campaign began positively with a straight-sets victory over Fery, showcasing resilience by saving all three break points he faced.
Alex de Minaur holds a 3-2 record in his last five matches. His most recent appearance was at Indian Wells, where he fell to Norrie in straight sets during the third round.
Our Betting Insight: Tsitsipas vs. de Minaur
While bookmakers favor de Minaur, we hold a different view. Tsitsipas boasts a dominant 11-1 head-to-head record against the Australian. His strong performance in the opening round here in Miami, coupled with effective serving, suggests he can keep this match highly competitive. Considering these factors, backing Tsitsipas to cover the games handicap presents a compelling betting opportunity.
Camilo Ugo Carabelli vs. Sebastian Korda
Date: March 21, 2026, 00:30 CEST
Head-to-Head: First professional meeting
Camilo Ugo Carabelli has a 2-3 record in his recent five matches. His Miami campaign saw him overcome Mpetshi Perricard in three sets, recovering after dropping the first set 2-6. In last year’s Miami tournament, the Argentine was defeated by Djokovic in straight sets during the third round.
Sebastian Korda arrives in strong form, having won four of his last five matches. His previous outing at Indian Wells saw him battle de Minaur in a tight three-set loss in the second round. Last season, Korda reached the quarterfinals of the Miami Open before falling to Djokovic.
Our Betting Insight: Carabelli vs. Korda
Bookmakers rightly position Korda as the favorite. His proficiency on hard courts, coupled with the advantage of playing on home soil, and his greater experience at the Masters 1000 level, suggest he is well-placed to dominate this encounter. Therefore, Korda covering the games handicap emerges as a promising value bet.
Aleksandar Vukic vs. Rafael Jodar
Date: March 21, 2026, 03:00 CEST
Head-to-Head: First professional meeting
Aleksandar Vukic has a 2-3 record from his last five matches. His path to the main draw in Miami was unusual; after losing to Barrios Vera in the final qualifying round, he gained entry as a lucky loser due to player withdrawals.
Rafael Jodar has secured three wins in his last five matches. He successfully navigated the Miami qualifying rounds with two straight-sets victories and then defeated Hanfmann in three sets in the main draw’s opening round.
Our Betting Insight: Vukic vs. Jodar
The consensus among bookmakers is that Jodar is a strong favorite, and we concur. He has demonstrated consistent dominance and strong serving throughout the week. In contrast, Vukic’s entry as a lucky loser, having lost in the final qualifying round, highlights a difference in recent form. We anticipate Jodar will deliver a dominant and comfortable victory. Consequently, betting on Jodar to cover the games handicap appears to be a favorable option.
