No previous meetings have taken place between Kenin and Hunter before this.

Kenin 6-7 for the Season
As Kenin grapples to make it back to playing at her best, she starts off her Miami Open campaign with a relatively easier opening round encounter.
Marked easier than facing Sloane Stephens in the first round as she did in the Indian Wells Open two weeks ago, following which was left with the onerous task of taking on Elena Rybakina in the second. Rybakina would need two tie-breakers to defeat Kenin before going on to clinch the title.
And that performance against Rybakina, more than her overall underwhelming 6-7 win-loss record will hold Kenin in a good stead.
She would know she was up against one of the best players in the world at the moment, one who would toppled Iga Swiatek easily in the semifinal as well. And for Kenin to have done as well as she did in that encounter should be a confidence-booster.
It should help that she is now up against a qualifier, as it should in the later stages of this tournament.

Hunter Surprise Qualifier
Having lost in the first round at both the top-level competitions she played this season, Hunter has surprised a few here by making it to the main draw.
The Aussie needed to win both her qualifiers against players who had gone into those matches as heavy favourites and did exactly that. That she defeated Kimberly Birrell and Kaja Juvan in straight sets only adds to the shock.
That can be partially explained by the fact that the 28-year-old has never won a round at any Grand Slam or WTA 1000 events except at this tournament.
Here, two seasons in a row, Hunter had made the second round, winning a round in 2021 and entering round two as a lucky loser in 2022.
Can she now shock Kenin and double her win count here?
Kenin v Hunter Prediction and Tip
Kenin shouldn’t have a lot of difficulties here despite what Storm did in the qualifiers. A win for the American looks certain, but we might just see a third set.

- Low Risk Tip: Kenin to win: 1/3 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Three sets in the match: 6/5 (Click Here to Bet with 888Sport)
