Ashlyn Krueger will compete at the Miami Open as a wildcard and will begin her campaign against the unseeded Dayana Yastremska. This is their first career meeting, and the winner will play Jelena Ostapenko next. Read on for our prediction for the match.

Yastremska is back in Miami and will compete in the main draw for a fourth time. She has never made it past the third round here and was last year ousted without winning a match. The Ukrainian could be in for another early exit given her poor run of form.

So far this season, Yastremska has lost eight matches in 13 outings. Things have gotten worse in recent weeks, as she has managed just one win in her last five outings. The 25-year-old will start the week in 50th place in the live ranking.

Ashlyn Krueger seems to be gradually finding her form after a poor start to the season. The American started the season with just one win from her opening six matches of the season. Now, she has won five of her last seven.

A semi-finalist in Austin at the start of March, Krueger followed that up with a third-round exit at Indian Wells. The 21-year-old is defending 120 points this week after a run to the fourth round last season.

Reclaiming those points and adding a few more will help Krueger to halt tumbling down in the live ranking. Krueger starts the week having dropped 16 places to 95th in the live ranking.
