Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Tseng Chun-hsin preview
Ninth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas will get his 2025 Miami Open campaign underway when he takes on Taiwanese qualifier Tseng Chun-hsin in the second round. Tsitsipas did not start the year well, as he lost four of the first seven matches he played including a first-round exit at the Australian Open, losing to Alex Michelsen in four sets.
However, the former World No. 3 found his form back at the Dubai Tennis Championships, winning his maiden ATP 500 title with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final. He also had a decent outing at the BNP Paribas Open, before losing 4-6, 4-6 against eventual runner-up Holger Rune in the fourth round.
Meanwhile, the Miami Open is only the second event whose main draw Chun-hsin has qualified for. The Taiwanese player had a splendid showing at the Rio Open, where he reached the quarterfinals as a qualifier. He lost 4-6, 1-6 against eventual champion Sebastian Baez.
At the Miami Open, the World No. 115 started with a 7-6(2), 6-2 win over Alejandro Moro Canas in the first round of qualifying. In the next round, he won 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(4) against Darwin Blanch to enter the main draw. He started with an impressive 7-6(5), 6-2 win over Mattia Bellucci in the first round.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Tseng Chun-hsin prediction
Tsitsipas has a 65 percent win rate on hard courts. The Greek player had struggled on the surface for the better part of the last one and a half years but a reported racket change has helped him change his hard-court fortunes. The Dubai title was his first hard-court title since August 2023.
Meanwhile, Chun-hsin has yet to reach a Tour-level final on any surface. The Taiwanese player, however, has four hard-court titles on the Challenger and ITF Tours.
Tsitsipas is the overwhelming favorite because of his higher ranking and considerable experience playing at the Masters 1000 level.
Pick - Tsitsipas to win in straight sets
