Both Denis Shapovalov and Botic van de Zandschulp are highly inconsistent and unpredictable, and both have shown a tendency to drop their level quickly when things are not going their way. That makes this matchup volatile and prone to sudden momentum swings.

- Denis Shapovalov is 6–1 in opening-round matches in Miami.
- He has a 3–3 record vs outside Top 50 players this year.

Shapovalov Finds Winning Rhythm
Denis Shapovalov reached the third round in Indian Wells, defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas and Tomas Martin Etcheverry in back-to-back three-set matches before losing to eventual champion Jannik Sinner.
The result was a timely boost after a mixed start to the season. He had played four tournaments prior, with three early exits and a semifinal run in Dallas as his only standout result.
Shapovalov has made seven Miami appearances, clearing the opening round in six of them. His only first-round loss came in 2022, while his best result was a semifinal run in 2019.

Zandschulp Eyes Form Recovery
Botic van de Zandschulp is coming off back-to-back disappointing results, losing in Dubai qualifying and in the Indian Wells first round to Juan Manuel Cerundolo.
He had started the season well with a third-round run at the Australian Open and a quarterfinal in Rotterdam. With few points to defend, a good run here could boost both his confidence and ranking.
This is his fourth Miami appearance. Apart from a first-round loss in 2022, he has won at least one match in his other visits, including a fourth-round run in 2023.
