2018 champion Alexander Zverev is the fourth seed for this year's Miami Open. He takes on unseeded Felix Auger-Aliassime in round two of this outdoor hard court tournament. Awaiting the winner in round three (the last 32) is either 31st seed Christopher Eubanks or unseeded Daniel Evans. Zverev is the current world number five and fourth in the ATP Live Race. Zverev has had a successful year and began it winning the United Cup with Germany. He certainly played his part in that triumph with four of his five singles matches being won. The last four was reached in the Australian Open and Los Cabos. The 26-year-old lost to eventual winner Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter finals at Indian Wells last week. He leads Auger-Aliassime 5-2 in previous meetings and 3-1 on hard courts. He's won two of their last three meetings.

Felix Auger-Aliassime is 35th in the live rankings after beating qualifier Adam Walton in the first round. He'll be hoping to get back into the top 32 so he can be seeded at upcoming Grand Slams. To do that the Canadian does have to increase his consistency levels. The former world number six (achieved just two years ago) has reached one semi-final this year, indoors in Montpellier. At Indian Wells he also lost to Carlos Alcaraz but only won five games. We tip Zverev to win this match in straight sets.
