Miami Wildcard for Bergs
Bergs, who is currently the Belgian number two, is making his main draw debut in Miami, after receiving a wildcard into the tournament.
The 23 year old is a player on the rise after a successful 2022 season on the Challenger tour, where he appeared in four finals, winning one of them on grass in England.
He has already made his Grand Slam debut this year, after coming through qualifying in Melbourne, although he was subsequently beaten by the Serbian Laslo Djere in four sets.
In fact, he has yet to win on the main tour in 2023, and was not involved in qualifying for Indian Wells. Instead he played a Challenger event in Switzerland where he was beaten in the second round.

Kokkinakis Comes Through as a Lucky Loser
Kokkinakis owes his spot in the main draw to a slice of luck. He was actually beaten by the Frenchman Benoît Paire in three sets in the second round of qualifying, but earned a reprieve as a Lucky Loser.
However, the Australian, a Grand Slam winner in doubles at the Australian Open last year, has been in good form so far this season.
He reached the semi-finals in Adelaide, and then took Andy Murray to five sets at the Australian Open.
From there he switched to the Challenger circuit and won a tournament in Bahrain last month.
In Indian Wells, he again entered the qualifying competition and came through that successfully, beating the American Brandon Holt in the first round.
Unfortunately for him his next opponent was Carlos Alcaraz, the world number one and tournament winner, and he became another straight sets’ victim of the Spaniard.
Prior to travelling to Miami, he stopped off in Phoenix for the Challenger tournament, where he again reached the second round.
Bergs v Kokkinakis Prediction and Tip
Although Kokkinakis owes his place in the main draw to good fortune, he will still start the clear favourite against the Belgian who has very little experience at this level.
