Badosa, however, was unable to compete at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells as she withdrew from the tournament. Tsitsipas, on the other hand, reached the fourth round of the tournament with wins over Lucas Pouille and Frances Tiafoe. Here, he was beaten by Jiri Lehecka.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is the tenth seed at the Miami Open
Following his fourth-round exit in Indian Wells, Tsitsipas will next compete at the Miami Open as the tenth seed.
The Greek has already received a bye to the next round by virtue of being one of the seeded players. Here, he will be up against either Denis Shapovalov or Luciano Darderi.
While Tsitsipas hasn't faced Darderi before, he has locked horns with Shapovalov five times, with the Canadian leading 3-2 in the head-to-head. The most recent encounter between the two came in the Round of 16 of the Barcelona Open, with the Greek winning 6-3, 6-2.
Stefanos Tsitsipas has won 11 out of 16 matches so far this season. The Greek reached the fourth round of the Australian Open before losing to Taylor Fritz. The 25-year-old won two matches each in both of the tournaments he played in Mexico. He reached the semifinals of the Los Cabos Open and the quarterfinals of the Mexican Open, losing to Casper Ruud and Alex de Minaur respectively.
