Novak Djokovic Faces Musetti in Miami Masters
The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between Djokovic and Musetti, with the Italian looking to capitalize on Djokovic's struggles. With several other exciting matchups on the cards, the Miami Masters are sure to deliver plenty of action and drama.
The 2025 ATP Miami Masters 1/8-Finals are set to feature several thrilling matchups, including a highly anticipated encounter between Novak Djokovic and Lorenzo Musetti. Djokovic, a strong favorite, will face Musetti, who has been in impressive form, having beaten top players like Quentin Halys and Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Djokovic has a 7-1 head-to-head advantage over Musetti, but the Italian has won their only meeting on clay last year. However, Djokovic has been struggling with his form and motivation, giving Musetti a good opportunity to cause an upset. Musetti's recent form and potential to keep the match tight make him a good bet, with a best bet of +1.5 sets at -112 on FanDuel.
In another exciting matchup, Alex de Minaur will face Matteo Berrettini, with de Minaur being the favorite. However, Berrettini's easy third-round match and de Minaur's recent struggles make him a value bet, with a best bet of +1.5 games handicap at 1.91 on bet365. Meanwhile, Sebastian Korda will take on Gael Monfils in a rematch of their second-round meeting in Indian Wells, where Monfils won in straight sets.
As the Miami Masters heat up, these matches are expected to be closely contested, with several top players facing off against each other. With Djokovic's form and motivation in question, Musetti has a chance to pull off a major upset, while Monfils will look to continue his excellent form this year against Korda.
