FINALS AND FINAL MATCHES ARE OFTEN NERVE-WRACKING. SABALENKA OFTEN GETS STRESSED OUT IN THE FINALS. THIS YEAR SHE HAD 3 FINALS: LOST 1-2 IN INDIAN WELLS, ALSO LOST 1-2 IN THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN FINAL, BUT WON 2-1 IN BRISBANE. STILL IN OCTOBER, A FINAL IN WUHAN WHERE SHE WON 2-1. 4 CONSECUTIVE FINALS WITH 3 SETS, NOW SHE FACES A LOCAL TENNIS PLAYER WHO HAS PLAYED 3 SETS IN FIVE MATCHES IN MIAMI. HER STRENGTH IS UNCLEAR, BUT I THINK SHE WILL GIVE HER ALL TO HAVE A CHANCE IN HER TOURNAMENT. SABALENKA HAS NEVER WON THE MIAMI OPEN, SO SHE WILL HAVE MOTIVATION, BUT I BELIEVE SHE WILL ALSO STRUGGLE IN AT LEAST ONE SET.

In finals, there are often surprises. Sabalenka tends to get stressed in finals. This year, she had three finals: she lost 1-2 in Indian Wells, also lost 1-2 in the Australian Open final, and won 2-1 in Brisbane. In October, she reached the final in Wuhan and won 2-1. Four consecutive finals with three sets, now she is facing a local tennis player who played three out of five matches in Miami in three sets. It is unclear how much energy is left, but I believe she will give her all to have a chance in this tournament. Sabalenka has never won the Miami Open, so she will have motivation, but I believe she will still win at least one set. And this kind of total also has a chance to come through in two sets.

Yes, there is a lot of risk seeing how confidently the Italian played in front of his crowd, but the Czech is not that bad either to cover such a gap. They have played against each other more than once and without a doubt, both matches were intense. Of course, relying on history doesn't make sense because it's a new day and a new story, but I believe the Czech will want to give a good fight and can definitely go up to a tie-break in one set. Secondly, I really hope that Peru will throw off the players from their rhythm as often happens in tennis and will knock down the odds which have been set too high despite how good Darderi looks, as the Czech has both a strong serve and he can defend well. However, there will also be a need for some Italian chokes because currently, he seems like a serious ATP tournament player, even though he hasn't been one for some time.😁
