Prediction published on 19/03/2025, 13:43  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 19/03/2025 at 14:13 in Tennis Predictions

29th seed Magdalena Frech faces qualifier Elena-Gabriela Ruse in round two of the Miami Open. The winner will be up against either top seed Aryna Sabalenka or unseeded Viktorija Tomova in the next round. Here's our match prediction.

World number 27 Magdalena Frech has not had a good 2025 to date with just three wins in 11 matches. The Pole has lost her last four matches and will hope to get back on track in this outdoor hard court WTA 1000 event. Her best run this year has been a third round at the Australian Open.

This is the fourth match between these two players and Ruse leads 2-1. Only one match has been played on this surface and it was Ruse who won that three years ago. All their previous meetings have had over 19.5 games played in them.

Elena-Gabriela Ruse was 102nd in the latest rankings and had to qualify to get into this main draw. The Romanian won both of her qualifiers in three sets. It was the same story in round one of the main draw as she defeated Polina Kudermetova.

Nine of her 13 matches have been won this year (mainly in qualifying rounds) but hasn't got past round two of an event this year.

We tip over 19.5 games in this match.
