Shapovalov Searching for Consistency
World no. 30 Denis Shapovalov has been searching for consistency this year and he comes to Miami with a 5-6 season record behind him.
The left-hander was a quarterfinalist in his season opener in Adelaide, but since then he hasn’t made a lot of impact. He did win two matches in a row to reach the third round at the Australian Open, but has struggled to win consecutive matches since then.
In fact, Shapovalov has won just one match in the last four tournaments and that was in Acapulco. He lost his opening matches in Dallas, Delray Beach and Indian Wells.
So, the 23-year-old’s form is a bit dodgy at the moment. But he has done well in Miami in the past and will be hoping to get back to form in the tournament.
Shapovalov is making his fifth appearance in Miami this year. He was a semifinalist in 2019 but made a second round exit last year. How far can he go this year?

Pella Rebounds to Win Opener
Argentina’s Guido Pella bounced back after dropping the first set to beat Peru’s Juan Pablo Varillas in the opening round.
Pella was broken twice in the first set as Varillas took the opening set with ease. The Argentine, however, bounced back with a solitary break in the second and then broke the world no. 88 twice in the final set to complete a 1-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory.
The left-handed Pella had 10 breaking opportunities in the match but he could convert just three of them. He faced four break points saving half of them.
The 32-year-old improved his season record to 3-4 following the win. He had also won his first round match in Indian Wells before going down in the second round.
This is Pella’s seventh appearance in Miami. He has reached the third round only once before.
