[Andy Murray](https://www.atptour.com/en/players/andy-murray/mc10/overview) in the third round and in-form American [Tommy Paul](https://www.atptour.com/en/players/tommy-paul/pl56/overview) in the fourth round. 6 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings, could play Indian Wells semi-finalist [Frances Tiafoe](https://www.atptour.com/en/players/frances-tiafoe/td51/overview) in the fourth round.

[Casper Ruud](https://www.atptour.com/en/players/casper-ruud/rh16/overview) reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final in Miami last year and will be hoping the hard-court event can once again provide him with a springboard to build from.

Rybakina; Sabalenka d. Semifinals: Pegula d. Sabalenka will start against either Shelby Rogers or Sloane Stephens, but her toughest competition could come from Barbora Krejcikova in the fourth round. She has a title this season; does she have a deep run at a 1000 in her, too? Miami is where things began to go south for her in 2022. Speaking of Sakkari, was her semifinal run in Indian Wells a sign that she has stabilized? She’s in Gauff’s half of this section, and is due to make some noise. Like Jabeur, her presumed breakout season has yet to materialize (missed Indian Wells with injury). For Coco Gauff, it’s probably a relief not to be anywhere near either Swiatek or Aryna Sabalenka in the draw; she has lost love sets to both recently, and she lost badly to Swiatek in Miami a year ago. Hopefully Parks, an American up-and-comer and already a champion in Lyon, can improve on her performance in Indian Wells, where she lost 6-1, 6-1 in the first round to Anna Kalinskaya. She’ll start against either Claire Liu or Katerina Siniakova, and the first seed she could face is Martina Trevisan. Miami, USA

7:00 pm Since Wolf reached the Dallas semifinals last month, he's posted a 1-3 record and, like Bublik, should be very hungry for Hard Rock success. The big-serving Bublik is 1-10 in all other Tour-level tournaments, including opening-round exits in Auckland, Australian Open, Rotterdam, Montpellier and Indian Wells. French fans were already out in force watching Benoit Paire's qualifying match on Monday and this all-French affair figures to be a fan-friendly clash.

The back end of the sunshine double kicks off at the Miami Open this week. Find out who is favored to win the men's and women's tournaments.

[Caroline Garcia](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/caroline-garcia-2663) - Garcia has lost 7-5 in the third in each of her last two tournaments, falling to [Donna Vekic](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/donna-vekic-3978) in the Monterrey Open final and [Sorana Cirstea](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/sorana-cirstea-2381) in the Round of 16 at Indian Wells. [Donna Vekic](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/donna-vekic-3978) - Vekic was a letdown as a potential sleeper in Indian Wells, as her powerful game didn't translate well to those slower hard courts and she immediately crashed out against [Lesia Tsurenko](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/lesia-tsurenko-3931), but perhaps she'll fare better in Miami. [Elena Rybakina](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/elena-rybakina-4197) knocked her out at both the Australian Open and Indian Wells, but Swiatek could get a shot at revenge in the quarterfinals here. [Iga Swiatek](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/iga-swiatek-4237) - Swiatek is the defending Miami Open champion, and while she failed to win the title at the three biggest hard-court tournaments so far in 2023 (Australian Open, Dubai and Indian Wells), the world No. 7 seed [Holger Rune](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/holger-rune-4455). 3 seed [Casper Ruud](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/casper-ruud-1624) in the Round of 16. His potential opponents from the third round forward are [Ben Shelton](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/ben-shelton-4594), [Cameron Norrie](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/cameron-norrie-4164), Medvedev, Tsitsipas and Alcaraz. 6 seed [Andrey Rublev](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/andrey-rublev-1613) or the 10th-seeded Sinner. 5 seed [Felix Auger-Aliassime](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/felix-auger-aliassime-90). [Carlos Alcaraz](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/carlos-alcaraz-4412) - Alcaraz just erased any doubts that he's the player to beat in any tournament that doesn't include Djokovic. Alcaraz showed the size of the gap between himself and the field with a 6-3, 6-2 drubbing of [Daniil Medvedev](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/daniil-medvedev-1227) in the final, ending Medvedev's 19-match winning streak. In the women's draw, [Qinwen Zheng](https://www.rotowire.com/tennis/player/qinwen-zheng-4317) (abdomen) will be back in action as the No.

He will likely face Auger-Aliassime in the fourth round, but I think that Tiafoe has the game to beat the Canadian on these courts, and that would set up a semi-final showdown against either Stefanos Tsitsipas or perhaps Karen Khachanov. Tiafoe is 14-4 to start 2023 and has already won an ATP tournament when he took down the United Cup in Australia prior to the Australian Open. If you can find odds on him to win his quarter of the Miami Open, I would also definitely take a shot on those. Zverev started out the year slowly, perhaps still struggling with his ankle injury, but he has been in good form of late, going 5-2 in his last two tournaments with his losses coming to 6th-ranked Andrey Rublev and Medvedev. In this article, we’ll delve into the list of favorites, players to watch, and dark horses to win the second Masters 1000 tournament of the year.

Felix Auger-Aliassime and Frances Tiafoe are the top names in the opposite half from Tsitsipas. At the top of this post I mentioned that Djokovic and Medvedev have each had hot streaks this season, and Alcaraz looks poised to start one of his own. The winner gets Rublev. The American will start against Alexander Bublik. On paper, Ruud looks safe, until a possible fourth-round meeting with Alexander Zverev; the German played like his old set in Dubai and Indian Wells, and has been to the final in Miami before.

Marino dominates Putintseva at Miami Open - Tennis Canada (tenniscanada.com)

Rebecca Marino put on a clinic as she powered into round two of the Miami Open with a win over Yulia Putintseva in straight sets.

After surviving a pair of break points in the third game, errors continued to fly off of Putintseva’s racket and she double-faulted to surrender a love break and go down 4-1. She lost just 15 points on serve in the match and never faced a break point. The Czech broke for her first lead of the match at 5-3, only for Sebov to break back. Sebov stretched the run to four breaks when she took the opening game of the third set before finally getting a hold to take a 2-0 lead. The Canadian won 56 per cent of the Czech’s second serve points and 52 per cent of her total points on return. However, a pattern began to emerge in the second set of one player breaking and the other immediately responding.
