Bautista Agut Battles For Form

Roberto Bautista Agut advanced to the second round with a 7-6, 7-6 win over James Duckworth. He saved seven of nine break points and converted two of five chances. 

He is still searching for consecutive wins this season, with all six of his tournaments ending in or before the second round. His last multi-win run came in Cincinnati, where he reached the third round. 

In Miami, he has not recorded multiple wins since his semifinal run in 2021, which also remains his most recent deep result at Masters level.

Khachanov Seeks Miami Stability

Karen Khachanov is coming off a disappointing first-round exit in Indian Wells, where he lost to Joao Fonseca from a set up. It marked his second opening-round loss of the season. 

The Russian has won seven matches across six tournaments this year. His best results include a third-round run at the Australian Open and a quarterfinal in Doha, though four of his losses came against lower-ranked opponents. 

Despite those setbacks, his ranking remains stable as he has few points to defend before the clay swing. He currently sits comfortably inside the top 20. 

Khachanov holds a 5-4 record in Miami opening rounds and has not lost at this stage since 2022.

Verdict

Backing Khachanov to win makes sense, while over 21.5 games and a possible three-set match also stand out given their competitive history.
