13th of the name!
Yep, these two promising youngsters have already played each other quite a few times ;)
And it's RBA who leads 7–5, and even 4–0 on outdoor hard courts!
Right from the start, and just like in Indian Wells, I think we need to be wary of Roberto. In Masters 1000s, he puts his heart into it again and clearly raises his level to become that annoying metronome nobody wants to face. And with the rather low bounce in Miami, it's perfect!
Khachanov also steps on the gas when it comes to big tournaments. Outside of the really big events this year, he’s looked tired and not very sharp. And then boom: Australian Open, Indian Wells, the match against Carlito in Doha. Those are his best matches this season. We’re going to have to count on him because Miami is a big tournament of course, but it also favors good servers and back‑court grinders who wear their opponents down. So I’m keen to put a bit of money on a tight match, but if Agut’s odds are too low, I’ll just leave it at that.
