Two seeds face each other in the third round of the Miami Open. Tenth seed Paula Badosa faces Clara Tauson who is seeded 20th in this outdoor hard court tournament. Can Tauson beat the top-ten ranked player? Here's our match prediction.
The winner of this match will take on either fifth seed Madison Keys or wild card Alexandra Eala in the last 16. Tauson is the world number 21 but fifth in the WTA Live Race. The 22-year-old won the title in Auckland and was also runner-up in Dubai with a semi-final reached in Linz. This is her first time past round two of this WTA 1000 tournament. So far she's beaten Julia Grabher in straight sets.
Paula Badosa has won two of her three previous matches against Tauson and both came on this surface. The Spaniard is tenth in both the main rankings and Live Race. Her best performance in 2025 has been reaching the Australian Open semi-final.
Badosa also got to the last eight in Merida but had to retire due to injury. That kept her out of Indian Wells but has returned this week to beat Viktoria Mboka in three sets. We go for over 20.5 games to be played in this match.
