Alexander Zverev desperately needs to bounce back after the recent losses, including the opening round in Indian Wells. Trying to take down the No. 1 seed will be Jacob Fearnley, whose run started in the qualifying. Former champion Hubert Hurkacz is also in action, alongside the recent Indian Wells runner-up, Holger Rune. Who do you think will advance to the next stage of the ATP Miami Masters on Day 4?<\/p>\n
Head-to-head<\/strong>: First meeting<\/p>\n Wins have been extremely rare for Luciano Darderi recently with only the farewell match of Dominic Thiem and a retirement from Hugo Dellien between October and the start of this event. It’s not like the Italian doesn’t have major weapons, but he’s still learning to utilize them better on hard courts. He was originally supposed to face Hubert Hurkacz before the Pole pulled out, letting in Adam Walton. That’s undeniably much easier, but it still might not be enough for Darderi to get another hard-court win. Head-to-head<\/strong>: First meeting<\/p>\n Things were looking a bit bleak for Thiago Agustin Tirante after he couldn’t qualify for any Golden Swing event, but he’s turned it around since with a Challenger title on altitude clay<\/a> and three matches won here. When he’s confident, the former junior No. 1 can serve well and smack his inside-out forehands in any conditions. But this should be the end of the road for him. Denis Shapovalov is playing some of the best tennis of his life and it’s just not easy to defeat him at the moment.
