Our Tips
Novak Djokovic -3.5 to Win | |
3/4 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Djokovic’s superior head-to-head record, powerful form on hard courts, and excellent first serve percentage make the -3.5 games handicap an appealing pick. Dimitrov's inconsistent serving and patchy results this year leave him vulnerable against the Serbian’s baseline pressure and returning prowess. Expect a straightforward win for Djokovic in this clash. | |
Wednesday’s schedule at the ATP Miami Open brings together a compelling mix of experience and rising talent as the tournament moves into the Round of 16. The heat is ramping up in South Florida, with some of the competition’s heaviest hitters still standing tall in the draw. Top seed Alexander Zverev remains a formidable presence, and with the likes of Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur also battling for quarter-final spots, the quality of play is expected to reach new heights.
The day’s action will also witness an intriguing Czech showdown as Tomas Machac and Jakub Mensik go head-to-head, adding further spice to a packed schedule. Meanwhile, Australian fans will keep an eye on the aftermath of Alex de Minaur’s impressive win over Joao Fonseca, which silenced a vocal Brazilian crowd in an earlier round.

Best Bet for Today: Zverev to win 2-1
Despite Zverev coming in as the clear favourite in terms of probabilities and market price, the match-up with Arthur Fils suggests a tightly contested affair is far more likely than the odds might initially imply. The tip here is to back Zverev to come through this one in three sets.
Zverev has shown glimpses of his top form in Miami, especially in how he recovered from a slow start against Jordan Thompson. His ability to wrestle back control and close out that match in straight sets speaks to a return in confidence and rhythm. However, Fils presents a very different challenge. Their past meetings have all been grueling, and the Frenchman has already beaten Zverev once in a high-pressure final on clay. Even though Fils arrives with potential fatigue after an exhausting three-set victory over Frances Tiafoe, his ability to fire 21 aces and rack up 45 winners underlines the threat he carries when allowed to dictate play.
Still, the 46 unforced errors in that same match raise concerns about his consistency and mental sharpness over the course of another potentially long match. Zverev’s superior experience in managing such situations, particularly on hard courts, gives him the edge here. But Fils is not expected to fold easily, and the likeliest path sees the German advancing after being pushed hard over three sets.
