ATP Miami 1/64-Finals
Ofner – Nishikori: 21.03.2024 17:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Sebastian Ofner is on a 3-match losing streak. He had a perfect start to this season. Those last three matches he lost were not that bad. Ofner lost against Coric, de Minaur and Atmane. He had a decent chance against Coric and Atmane but lost in a tight match in the end. His opponent, Nishikori, will play for the first time since July 2023. The former US Open finalist had his career ruined by injuries. The bookies are predicting Ofner to be a slight favorite here. Given his current form, we can understand that. However, Nishikori had not played for such a long time. Even before his last injury, he did not play much in 2023. Before that, he had an even bigger break when he did not play for almost 2 years. Nishikori lacks competitive matches, and you can not replace that with training. That being said, Ofner to win is a value bet for tonight!

Muller – Kwon: 21.03.2024 20:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Alexandre Muller has had a pretty decent season thus far. He has struggled a little bit lately, but he also played against some perfect opponents. At Indian Wells, Muller won in the first round in straight sets. After that, he lost to Dimitrov in the second round. His opponent, Kwon, has a protected ranking and that is how he got into the tournament. Kwon also had many problems with the injuries. He is currently on a 10-game losing streak. His last win was last year in February. This year he only played three matches, and he looked terrible in all three of them. We believe that Muller should be a way bigger favorite in this matchup than he actually is. He is playing well, and we believe that he will dominate against Kwon tonight!
Value bet/ the best odds: Muller -3.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365
Popyrin – Diaz Acosta: 21.03.2024 22:00 CEST
H2H: first meeting
Alexei Popyrin has had a perfect season thus far. After having a bad season last year, Popyrin stepped up this season and got back into the top 50 rankings. He had some big wins earlier this season against Bublik and Polmans and he even won one set against Novak Djokovic! Popyrin played three times in Miami and managed to win in the first round every single time! His opponent, Diaz Acosta, had even a better season thus far. He is on the verge of breaking into the top 50 in the rankings. Most of his points came from South American clay court tournaments where he did well. However, he is not just a clay court specialist. Diaz Acosta has shown us how good he is on the hard courts as well. He almost won at the Australian Open against Fritz. Managed to get wins against Seyboth Wild and Watanuki. All being said, this should be a very interesting match. Both players have been playing really well, and we expect them to play a really tight match with many games!
Value bet/ the best odds: over 23.5 games @1.91 @bet365
