While the weather and lack of a roof in Miami have overshadowed the tennis to start the tournament, the action has never really stopped. Day four on the ATP side sees Jannik Sinner begin his quest for a Sunshine Double, among other exciting matches. As always, we here at LWOT will be predicting each encounter. But who do you think will advance?

ATP Miami Day 4 Predictions
Marton Fucsovics vs Felix Auger-Aliassime

Head-to-head: Auger-Aliassime 3-2 Fucsovics

Marton Fucsovics and Felix Auger-Aliassime meet in a matchup that will likely come down to whether Fucsovics’ endurance and court coverage can frustrate the Canadian into errors. On a fast Miami court, that seems unlikely, and Auger-Aliassime, with his powerful serve and forehand, should be able to navigate his way through to the next round.

Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 2

Zizou Bergs vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry

Head-to-head: Bergs 1-0 Etcheverry

Zizou Bergs and Tomas Martin Etcheverry bring contrasting styles into this matchup, with Bergs’ court craft facing Etcheverry’s baseline consistency. The Argentine will look to extend rallies and wear Bergs down, a strategy that has proven effective in the past. However, the faster courts in Miami could tilt the balance slightly in Bergs’ favour, giving him the edge in what should be a close contest.

Prediction: Bergs in 3

Alejandro Tabilo vs Andrey Rublev

Head-to-head: Rublev 1-0 Tabilo

Alejandro Tabilo has shown over the years that he can raise his level against big-name opponents, something he will need against Andrey Rublev. While Rublev is not quite at the level he was a couple of years ago, his first-strike tennis and improved willingness to finish points at the net could prove key in overcoming Tabilo and his tricky baseline patterns.

Prediction: Rublev in 2

Jannik Sinner vs Damir Dzumhur

Head-to-head: First meeting

Jannik Sinner begins his quest for the Sunshine Double against Damir Dzumhur, a player who typically performs best on slower surfaces. That contrast in Miami, along with Sinner holding both the baseline and serve-return advantage in this matchup, suggests it should be a comfortable outing for the Italian.

Prediction: Sinner in 2
