On Wednesday, in Miami Gardens, Florida, James Duckworth and Roberto Bautista will meet for the third time as professionals. Once upon a time, the Spaniard, who was ranked as high as nine in the world, reached the semi-final of this event, but it seems as though those days are long gone. The 37-year-old has struggled to hold his form in recent weeks, losing four of his last six matches, losing to a couple of players not quite on Duckworth's level.
The Australian doesn't exactly arrive in the hottest form, but he recently beat Jan-Lennard Struff, which bodes well, while he showed plenty of fight against Nunon Borges last time out, which tells me that he could easily overpower his older opponent. After all, Duckworth has come out on top in each of his previous two matches against Bautista.

Our James Duckworth vs Roberto Bautista-Agut Prediction
James Duckworth doesn't exactly have a stellar record in Miami, going beyond the first round in just one of his previous four appearances, but he has what must be described as a more decent opportunity than the odds suggest here. After all, he's up against a player who is simply no longer the force of old. Bautista thrived in Miami five years ago, but now at 37 years old, he's nowhere near as strong.
Duckworth's recent efforts tell me that he's worthy of stronger market support against a player who he has twice beaten before.
