This will be their first meeting.

Blanch Receives Miami Wildcard

Darwin Blanch has received a main-draw wildcard in Miami for the second time. He previously played here in 2024, losing to Tomas Machac in straight sets in the opening round.

Overall, he has made four main-draw appearances on the main tour, with three ending in first-round exits. His only win came in Winston-Salem last year, where he reached the second round.

Blanch has played six Challenger events this season, clearing the opening round in four of them. His best results were quarterfinal runs in Phan Thiet and Brisbane.

Struff is making his tenth Miami main-draw appearance and holds a 5-4 record in opening-round matches. He most recently lost to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in straight sets last year.
