The qualifier Anastasia Zakharova is having quite the run in Miami and now seeks to produce an upset against 10th seed Victoria Mboko. This is their first career meeting, and the winner will play Mirra Andreeva or Marie Bouzkova in the fourth round. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Anastasia Zakharova started her week in the preliminaries and has now won four straight matches. Competing in Miami for the first time, the Russian defeated Anna Bondar in the first round in three sets.
She would need a decider again to progress to this round, as she faced off with the 22nd seed, Anna Kalinskaya. Now with 16 wins in 2026, Zakharova has shot up seven places to 67th in the live ranking.
Victoria Mboko defeated Anna Blinkova in the second round. The Canadian, who is having yet another exciting season, made light work of her Russian opponent and won by the loss of just two games.
Mboko has been one of the top performers in the WTA this season and is expected to challenge for the Miami title. So far in 2026, Mboko has won 17 of 22 fixtures and has contested two finals in Adelaide and Doha.
The world number nine has also produced a quarter-final finish at Indian Wells and a run to the fourth round in Melbourne.

Our Anastasia Zakharova vs Victoria Mboko Prediction
Our Anastasia Zakharova v Victoria Mboko prediction is Victoria Mboko at -5.5. Mboko has been one of the top performers in the tour this season and is a huge favorite to go all the way in Miami. She has dominated her path to two finals so far and has registered most of her wins in straight sets.
We can expect another dominant display in this third-round tie. Zakahrova is having a strong run in Miami and hasn’t lost in four outings. She, however, hasn’t matched up with a player of the level of Mboko, and when she has, she has lost.
