TennisSection previews the 2023 Miami Masters second-round match featuring Matteo Berrettini vs Mackenzie McDonald on Saturday, March 25, 2023.

Matteo Berrettini vs Mackenzie McDonald Match Preview

Will Matteo Berrettini get the win? Will Mackenzie McDonald pull off the upset? This will be an interesting one, where we have the Italian hammer in an exciting match with an in-form American. Who will triumph and move through to the Round of 32 at the 2023 Miami Masters?

Matteo Berrettini has been struggling in the last months, dropping out of the top 10 some time ago due to many injury layoffs, and now simply not playing at his typical level. A player like Berrettini will always bounce back though, and despite this match screaming for a potential upset, I have to expect Berrettini to show up and fight for the win here at the 2023 Miami Masters.

Mackenzie McDonald won’t be happy seeing Berrettini’s name opposing his own, but if it was any seed, Berrettini is one of the one’s he’d rather shoot his shot at. Berrettini has a big game, and for the courts in Miami I feel his game will work quite well, but as will McDonald’s, so it’ll be interesting to see if the American can neutralize Berrettini’s serve which will be the primary key for him to pull off the upset at the 2023 Miami Masters.

Matteo Berrettini vs Mackenzie McDonald Prediction and Pick

Matteo Berrettini and Mackenzie McDonald have met twice before, with Matteo Berrettini leading the head to head 2-0. McDonald will certainly have his chances, and I expect this to be a tough battle. On the other hand, Berrettini will be the man dictating play if he’s feeling his best, using his serve and forehand to great effect here at the 2023 Miami Masters. Let’s see if the Italian is able to get back to his winning ways with a spot in the 3rd round at the 2023 Miami Masters.
