Yibing Wu vs Kyle Edmund Match Preview

Will Yibing Wu get the win? Will Kyle Edmund pull off the upset? This will be an interesting one, where we have the in-form Wu taking on a former top-20 player looking to make his way back. Who will triumph and move through to the Round of 64 at the 2023 Miami Masters?

Yibing Wu made history about a month ago, winning the title in Houston to become the first-ever Chinese man to win an ATP title. He comes into Miami as a player ranked within the top 100 and as someone who should be feared by all his peers. With his massive game, he’ll be feeling good about the conditions in Miami which will no doubt suit his style. Kyle Edmund, though a former top player is struggling badly, and I can’t see any other outcome than a win for Wu here at the 2023 Miami Masters.

Kyle Edmund, known for his massive forehand and solid results as one of Britain’s best players in recent years has fallen from grace with some severe injury issues. Although he’s on the comeback, it’ll take time to recover and he’s not playing at a level that he’ll be particularly happy with at the moment. Let’s see if he can somehow take out Yibing Wu for a place in the next round of the 2023 Miami Masters.
