ATP Miami Final Prediction – Jannik Sinner vs Grigor Dimitrov

Dimitrov, meanwhile, may not have made quite such an electric start to the year, but the Bulgarian has been playing very well. He won his first title since 2017 in Brisbane and also reached the final in Marseille and the last four in Rotterdam. That said, his level this week has still been something of a surprise. He had to dig deep to beat Alejandro Tabilo in his opener, but then brushed Yannick Hanfmann aside for the loss of just one game.

Dimitrov then beat Hubert Hurkacz in a thriller, prevailing in a deciding-set tiebreak, to reach the quarterfinals. There, delivering surely his best performance in recent memory, he beat world #2 Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets to earn a semifinal berth and a shot at Alexander Zverev. He had lost seven matches on the bounce against the German with his sole win coming a decade ago in Basel. But he made light of that, holding his nerve to record an excellent 6-4 6-7 6-4 win.

Unsurprisingly, given his efforts so far this season, Sinner will be the heavy favourite heading into this match. Dimitrov has managed to spring more than a few surprises so far at the ATP Miami Open, but this looks likely to be a challenge too far for the Bulgarian. The head-to-head also favours Sinner, who beat Dimitrov twice last year, including in straight sets in Miami. Dimitrov might be able to win a set, but it would be a real surprise were he to beat Sinner here.

Prediction: Sinner in 2
