His opponent, Lorenzo Musetti, will be a sterner challenge for him, though, as the Italian dominated Roman Safiullin in straight sets in their third-round clash. However, Shelton will be a hard one to crack at Hard Rock.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Shelton in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170466&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Karen Khachanov vs Francisco Cerundolo<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head\u2013to\u2013Head: <\/strong>Khachanov 2-0 Cerundolo<\/p>\n<p>Former semifinalists square up in what promises to be an interesting encounter. Karen Khachanov hadn\u2019t made it beyond the third round in six attempts until last year, while Cerundolo strolled into the semis on his 2022 debut. They\u2019re both in patchy form at the moment, but based on their pedigree here, I\u2019ll back the Argentine to produce an upset.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Cerundolo in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"fHxfcglhQwdG7hxE1L6HCA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2074839281\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'fHxfcglhQwdG7hxE1L6HCA',sig:'8rN_5tgvtrsnnSw6JPZIhu8wzBtO9wfmq2cOpntyvoY=',w:'594px',h:'369px',items:'2074839281',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Grigor Dimitrov vs Yannick Hanfmann<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head\u2013to\u2013Head: <\/strong>First Meeting<\/p>\n<p>Yannick Hanfmann has been a different player since arriving at ATP Miami, with two superb three-set victories over Emil Ruusuvori and Adrian Mannarino. Grigor Dimitrov, on the other hand, had to maneuver to secure a comeback win over the resurgent Alejandro Tabilo in the previous round. He required a tiebreaker to even sets, and from then on, it was smooth sailing. He should be able to ride the wave of Hanfmann\u2019s challenge.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Dimitrov in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Carlos Alcaraz vs Gael Monfils<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head\u2013to\u2013Head: <\/strong>Alcaraz 1-0 Monfils<\/p>\n<p>Expect plenty of glitz and entertainment in this one as two animated players clash for the second time in their careers. While Monfils is capable of beating any player when he is in the mood, this will be a bit far-reaching for him. Carlos Alcaraz is at the peak of his powers, and he\u2019ll be gunning for a second win against the Frenchman as he continues his quest to clinch a second title here in three years.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Alcaraz in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170468&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Main Photo Credit: Syndication: Desert Sun<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After some rain delays, the excitement returned to the Hard Rock Stadium as the party in Miami entered Day 6.
