What a Difference a Year Makes for Rune
It is a measure of how far Rune has come in a short time that, this time, last year, Rune was entering Miami as a qualifier, and was knocked out in the first round of that competition.
Twelve months later, the Danish teenager returns as a top ten player, and he already has one Masters title under his belt, having won in Paris last October.
There have already been signs this year that he is capable of rising even further up the rankings, having so far reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, and the semi-finals in Acapulco.
He may, therefore, have been slightly disappointed to have been knocked-out in the third round of Indian Wells by the Swiss veteran and former Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka.
The recipient of a first round bye, he would like to go further than that in Miami.

Fucsovics Brings Florida Form to Miami
Fucsovics achieved his best ever result in a Masters’ event in Indian Wells, reaching the fourth round – beating Alex de Minaur along the way – before losing to Taylor Fritz.
And, based on the evidence of his first round, he seems to have brought some of that same form to Miami, although he would have been expected to beat the Argentine clay court player Pedro Cachin anyway.
After the first four games of the match were shared, Fucsovics forged ahead with the first break of serve. Cachin saved three break points that would have made his situation worse, but he could not claw back the deficit.
In the second set, the Argentine was able to bring pressure to bear on the Hungarian serve, but despite earning three break points in the course of it, he could not convert any of them, and it went to a tie-break.
Although both men had trouble on serve, two holds from Fucsovics put him in the ascendancy and he was able to close out the match.
Rune v Fucsovics Prediction and Tip
Fucsovics is a potentially dangerous opponent, so Rune will need to show him all due respect. However, the Danish teenager is one of the rising stars on tour, and already knows what it is like to lift a Masters’ trophy, and he will be confident of progressing.
