Djokovic’s spot at the Miami Open was taken by Jacob Fearnley. The Briton last competed at the Phoenix Challenger, losing to Arthur Cazaux. Before that, he was defeated by Taylor Fritz in Indian Wells, but pushed that match to three sets. Juan Manuel Cerundolo replaced Rune. Although the Argentine usually performs best on clay, he is dangerous on any surface when striking the ball confidently from the baseline.
Former Wimbledon semifinalist Roberto Bautista Agut benefited from Griekspoor’s decision to withdraw. The Spanish veteran showed his continued quality by pushing Jack Draper to three sets in Indian Wells. Despite being 37, he remains a tricky draw for anyone. Miomir Kecmanovic moved onto the entry list at Sonego’s expense. He made headlines a few weeks ago by beating Alexander Zverev at the Mexican Open in Acapulco.
