After a rain-riddled Day 4, a host of WTA matches in Miami were delayed and shifted to Day 5, including American up-and-comer Iva Jovic taking on Spanish veteran Paula Badosa. But that is far from all, as we have another jam-packed day of tennis, weather permitting, in store. As such, who do you think wins on Day 5?
WTA Miami Day 5 Predictions
Madison Keys vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse
Head-to-head: Keys 2-0 Ruse
After a career-best season in 2025, Madison Keys has been held back by injuries and inconsistency this year, leading to her drop out of the top 10. Elena-Gabriela Ruse will look to challenge from the baseline and force more errors than winners, but in front of a home crowd, Keys should have enough firepower to come through.
Prediction: Keys in 2
Iva Jovic vs Paula Badosa
Head-to-head: First meeting
Iva Jovic had a disappointing tournament in Indian Wells and will look to bounce back here. Paula Badosa can be a tricky opponent, but at this stage of her career, the Spaniard has been too affected by injuries to be consistently reliable against one of the rising talents on tour.
Prediction: Jovic in 3
Leylah Fernandez vs Oksana Selekhmeteva
Head-to-head: First meeting
Leylah Fernandez and Oksana Selekhmeteva meet in an all-lefty clash that should be fascinating, with the match likely decided by who maintains aggression from the baseline. Selekhmeteva has enough firepower at her best to make this competitive, but on a fast hard court, Fernandez is the more well-rounded player and should come out on top.
Prediction: Fernandez in 2
