ATP Miami Day 3 Match Previews
Aleksandar Vukic vs Rafael Jodar
Head-to-Head: First meeting
Rafael Jodar, a standout performer of the 2026 season, continues his impressive run. Just a year after being ranked outside the Top 700, the 19-year-old Spaniard is poised for a Top 100 breakthrough, having advanced through qualifiers and defeated veteran Yannick Hanfmann. Aleksandar Vukic, entering as a lucky loser, faces a formidable opponent with strong momentum. Jodar's powerful and direct style is proving effective, making him the favorite to continue his winning streak.
Prediction: Jodar in 3 sets
Zizou Bergs vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry
Head-to-Head: Bergs 1–0 Etcheverry
Zizou Bergs' recent hard-court performance has been inconsistent, with early exits in several tournaments, though he secured a win at Indian Wells. Conversely, Tomas Martin Etcheverry arrives in Miami in strong form. While typically a clay-court specialist, the Argentine has shown significant improvement on hard courts this season. Despite Bergs holding a 1-0 head-to-head lead, Etcheverry appears to be the stronger contender currently, eager to advance further in the draw.
Prediction: Etcheverry in 3 sets
Raphael Collignon vs Flavio Cobolli
Head-to-Head: First meeting
Raphael Collignon has had a commendable journey to this stage, but now faces a higher-ranked opponent. Flavio Cobolli, fresh off a Mexican Open title where he defeated Frances Tiafoe, boasts an impressive 8-2 record in his last ten hard-court matches. The Italian's consistent and aggressive baseline play is well-suited for these conditions. Collignon will need to perform exceptionally to challenge Cobolli, who is expected to secure a straightforward victory.
Prediction: Cobolli in 2 sets
Tommy Paul vs Adrian Mannarino
Head-to-Head: Mannarino 2–1 Paul
While Adrian Mannarino holds a slight advantage in their head-to-head record, Tommy Paul's current form is significantly stronger. Paul holds a 12-6 season record, with 10 hard-court victories and a final appearance at Delray Beach. Mannarino, however, has struggled on hard courts this year, with a 1-6 record. Despite the Frenchman's tricky lefty game potentially posing a challenge on faster courts, Paul's consistent performance makes him the favorite to win, even if the match goes the distance.
Prediction: Paul in 3 sets
