It was more or less the same story for the Brit last year as well, and fans have been expecting the legend to redeem himself for a long time now. 

Perhaps his best performance in the recent past came at the Qatar Open, where he lost to Jakub Mensik in the round of 16 after tough competition in three sets. Interestingly enough, all three sets were decided in tiebreaks. 

Talking about Matteo Berrettini, he has played only one tournament in 2024 so far, and the Miami Open will be his second. He participated in the Phoenix Challenger in March and performed pretty well there. He reached the final, where he lost to Nuno Borges.

Moreover, their most recent match in the 2023 Australian Open, which ended up being a 5-set thriller, was won by Matteo Berrettini even after Murray won the first two sets. The Italian came from behind and registered a phenomenal victory.

These signs indicate that Matteo Berrettini will be the favorite to win the match against Andy Murray and proceed to the next round. The winner of this match eventually faces Andrey Rublev in the Round of 32 if he also manages to win the Round of 64 match.
