In just 4 appearances at the Miami Masters so far, Nick Kyrgios started well at the tournament reaching the semi-finals in his first two appearances in 2016 and 2017 losing to Kei Nishikori and Roger Federer respectively. He then reached the 4th round in 2018 and 2019 losing to Alexander Zverev and Borna Coric respectively. Fresh off his first Grand Slam doubles title at the Australian Open, he’s coming into the match after thrashing Andrey Rublev 6-3, 6-0 in the previous round.

Fabio Fognini has had a difficult start to the season, with only one win in his first three matches. Tallon Griekspoor beat him in straight sets in the opening round of the Australian Open. Despite a rocky start, Fognini performed admirably at the Argentina Open. He then reached the semi-finals at the Rio Open. He’s coming off a close victory over Taro Daniel beating the Japanese player 6-7(2), 6-2, 7-6(5).

Nick Kyrgios would be high on confidence after thrashing a quality player like Rublev in the previous match. The Aussie is in a rich vein of form following his Australian Open doubles success, having reached the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells before losing to Rafael Nadal.

Meanwhile, Fabio Fognini has recovered since a disastrous start to the new season, and would look to give a tough fight to Kyrgios. However, the Aussie would be the favourite here.

Match Prediction- Kyrgios to win in three sets.
