Prediction for the ATP Miami match, which will take place on March 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Casper Ruud failed at the Indian Wells tournament, dropping out of the third round by Christian Garin. In Miami, he already has one victory over Ivashka, No. 80. The match against Ilya lasted an hour and 25 minutes, and Ruud won 6-2, 6-3. He made four aces and one double fault, winning 81% of the points on the first serve and 47% on the second. Ruud had the following numbers on the receiving end: 38%/64% and 22/11 winners/unforced errors.

In Indian Wells, Botik didn't even make it to the end of the match against Ivashka, withdrawing at 5-7, 2-3. In Miami, he beat Popyrin 4-6, 7-6, 6-2. It was a difficult match for Botik, Alexei served decently and had 13 aces, almost twice as many as Botik, but this was enough for the Australian only to take the first set. Botik made seven aces and five double faults, winning 79% of his points on the first serve and 49% on the second. On the receiving end, the Dutchman had the following statistics: 17%/49%, the winners/unforced errors statistic 35/33.

Against Ivashka, the Norwegian looked focused and determined to win, something we haven't seen lately often. Botik had a tough match against Popyrin, and Alexei is far from a top-ranked tennis player. Ruud is already in good tonus, and he will only improve. The Miami tournament is a big deal for Ruud, as another loss could drop him out of the top 4. We will side with the Norwegian in this matchup, and we think Ruud will get a solid victory.
