Tiafoe Begins Miami Journey
Frances Tiafoe had a solid event last year in Miami and he’s returning with even more hunger and even better tennis this year. Indian Wells was a solid experience for him with a run to the semi-final and a solid match against Medvedev.
He’s 14-5 this year and it seems like he’s taking that next step this year with the top 10 not far at all. A good run in Miami will get him even closer to that goal but he’s facing somewhat of a tricky player. Tiafoe has been prone in the past to making mistakes against worse players but it doesn’t seem likely here.
There is far more confidence in his play because he’s believing in himself more. He’s also far more serious about it by his own self-admission and it shows.
Anything but his win here would be a major upset.

Watanuki Earns Win No. 3 in Miami
Watanuki has won 3 matches this week in Miami but two of them were in the qualifiers. It’s been a fairly solid event for him as he got to demonstrate that his level is ever-improving. He’s been ranked outside of the top 100 for a long time but slowly he made his way all the way to 123 and it seems likely that he’ll join the top 100 soon.
His run here comes thanks to his serve which is his main weapon by far. He’s also quite aggressive with his groundstrokes and can do a lot of damage if you play passive tennis. It’s unlikely to happen against Taifoe but he’ll be ready to attack any shorter ball.
I don’t see many ways he can realistically win unless Tiafoe completes mails it in. It’s been a good year for the Japanese in general with 13 wins and 5 losses but his Miami streak will likely finish here.
There is just too much of a talent difference. Not much he can do about that.
Tiafoe v Watanuki Prediction and Tip
The American is the big favourite but there are not many plays here because the odds are pretty bad. A 2-0 win seems likely so take that.
