Henri Laaksonen v Benoît Paire Head to Head
The pair have played each other three times before, and the Swiss has won on each occasion. His first victory came on home soil in Basel in 2018, and he won again in Antwerp two years later.
Their most recent meeting came at the Australian Open this year – it was one set all, but Laaksonen was a break up in the third when Paire retired due to injury.

Miami Main Draw Debut for Laaksonen
This is the first time Laaksonen has made the main draw in Miami, never having got beyond the first round of qualifying in Florida before.
With Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka both injured, he is currently the highest ranked Swiss player on tour.
Not that he brings a great deal of form with him into this tournament, having only made the second round of an ATP event once this year, and that was back at the Melbourne Summer Set, where he came through the qualifying competition first.
His last competitive match was at Indian Wells, where he met the Argentine clay court specialist Facundo Bagnis in the first round and slipped to a straight sets defeat.

Which Version of Paire Will Show Up?
Paire made the third round in Miami three consecutive years between 2016 – 2018, but, as ever with the mercurial Frenchman, people never know which version of him will turn up on a particular day.
The player capable of some great shots, or the one who self-destructs on court with his poor behaviour?
His best result in 2022 so far came at the Australian Open, where he reached the third round before losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas in four sets.
Five successive first round defeats on the main tour followed, including in Indian Wells, where he was beaten by the German Dominik Koepfer, despite winning the first set.
He did at least break that losing sequence by winning a match in the Challenger event in Phoenix last week, but his run was then ended by Radu Albot of Moldova.
Laaksonen v Paire Prediction and Tip
Paire is the higher ranked player, but, based on past results, the Swiss appears to have the Indian sign over him, and will be confident of extending his unbeaten run against the Frenchman.
Tip: Laaksonen to win: 11/13 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
