TennisSection previews the 2023 Miami Masters third-round match featuring Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Cristian Garin on Monday, March 27, 2023.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Cristian Garin Match Preview

Will Stefanos Tsitsipas get the win? Will Cristian Garin pull off the upset? This will be an interesting one, where we have the No. 2 seed to play his opening match against a player in solid form. Who will triumph and move through to the Round of 16 at the 2023 Miami Masters?

Stefanos Tsitsipas finds himself in an interesting position during this sunshine double, himself proclaiming that he does not expect to go far in either event. Cristian Garin has made strides in the last weeks, making a run to the Round of 16 in Indian Wells and now winning a couple of matches here after coming out of qualifying. Tsitsipas though not in his best shape, will be favorite here to grab the win and move through at the 2023 Miami Masters.

Cristian Garin got a solid win over Sebastian Baez in the Round of 64, taking him out in straight sets to set up a tough meeting with 2nd seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. If Garin were to earn himself a top 3 win, now would be as good a time as any seeing as the state of the Greek isn’t close to his best. However, Tsitsipas will be able to play well in these conditions and he’s surely had time to train. Let’s see if the Chilean can pull off a stunner here at the 2023 Miami Masters.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Cristian Garin Prediction and Pick

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Cristian Garin have met twice before, with Stefanos Tsitsipas leading the head to head 2-0. Both meetings came on clay, which is the favorite surface of both players. Tsitsipas however, is a player for all surfaces and will certainly have the weapons to work Garin around the court. I don’t expect it to be easy, but he will remain standing in the Round of 16 at the 2023 Miami Masters.
