Tsitsipas Secures Opening Victory

Stefanos Tsitsipas defeated Arthur Fery in straight sets to reach the second round in Miami. He saved all three break points and won 77% of his first-serve points in a solid performance. 

The win comes as a relief after back-to-back opening-round exits in Dubai and Indian Wells. He has played six tournaments this year, registering multiple wins only once. 

That run came in Doha, where he reached the quarterfinal. It was also the first time since last year’s clay swing that he managed consecutive wins on tour. 

Tsitsipas has a strong record in Miami, reaching the fourth round in four straight editions from 2019 to 2023. However, he has not matched that level recently, with a second-round finish in 2024 and third round in 2025.

De Minaur Looks To Recover

Alex de Minaur made a strong start to the season, winning two of his three matches at the United Cup, reaching the quarterfinals at the Australian Open, and lifting the title in Rotterdam. 

However, his momentum has dipped with early exits in his last two events, including a surprise loss to Patrick Kypson in Acapulco. 

De Minaur has struggled historically in Miami but has improved recently, reaching the fourth round in his last two appearances. He also holds an impressive 14-2 record in Masters opening-round matches since the start of 2024.
