Alcaraz and Djokovic could be seen in Miami SF

Draper, champion in Indian Wells, is the rival potential of the favorite No. 1 Zverev in rooms

March 17, 2025

The second ATP Masters 1000 tournament of the season knew Monday the main box, for which the favorites will fight for the crown at the Miami Open present by By Itaú.

The standard head No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, champion in 2022, and Novak Djokovic, the player with the most titles in the tournament (6) next to Andre Agassi, the faces could be seen in a hypothetical semifinal duel. Of course, to get there they will have to spend a long and hard path.

The Spanish will open its participation in second round in front of the winner of the duel between the Australian Aleksandar Vukic and the Belgian David Goffin. If we move on, you could see the favorite No. 31 Brandon Nakashima, while in fourth round they would appear names such as serial head No. 14 Grigor Dimitrov or No. 22 Karen Khachanov.

We already have a picture in Miami! 😃 And these would be the hypothetical crosses in the quarterfinals:

▪️Medvedev [7] vs Djokovic [4]
▪️Ruud [5] vs Alcaraz [2]

Already in the quarterfinals, following the logic of the PIF ATP Rankings, the No. 5 Casper Ruud would appear. The Norwegian, meanwhile, must be released before Aleksandar Kovacevic or Miomir Kecmanovic. The level of demand will increase, since in Third Ronda it could be seen with Alejandro Tabilo and in the fourth round with Tommy Paul or Francisco Cerúando.

To make the clash between Alcaraz and Djokovic possible in the semifinals, the Serbian must surpass Rhinky Hijikata or his compatriot Hamad Medjedovic at his premiere. Later, favorite would be found No. 32 Alex Michelsen and in Fourth Round could cross with No. 15 Lorenzo Musetti or No. 18 Felix Auger-AliasSime.

In the quarterfinals, the 24 Grand Slam champion would have a complicated clash with the favorite No. 7 Daniil Medvedev, although in that sector of the painting the No. 9 Stefanos Tsitsipas also advances, in what would be the hardest match of the fourth round.

On the upper part of the painting, Alexander Zverev is the main favorite. The German has not yet been able to win more than two games in a row in the same tournament since it reached the final of the Australian Open.

Now he returns to Miami, where he was semifinalist last year, with the mission of changing his dynamics. In his inaugural shock he will play against Benjamin Bonzi or a rival of the previous one. In third round a dangerous name like Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, and No. 16 Frances Tiafoe or No. 17 Arthur Fils in Fourth Round, is attached.

But the ‘bone’ would appear in the quarterfinals, which arrives in Miami as a recent champion in Indian Wells and sixth head of series. The British, yes, will debut before the old Top 10 Roberto Bautista Aguet or the #NextGenatp Jakub Mensik star.
