On Tuesday, at the prestigious WTA event in Miami, which will be played in Miami Gardens, a player who has previously reached the semi-finals of this tournament will be in action. Having been dumped out of the Indian Wells event by Iga Swiatek, Maria Sakkari will now go up against the lower-ranked Julia Grabher. Let's be honest, this is a match that the Greek player should not only win but win convincingly.
Sakkari has been operating at a very decent level of late, reaching the semi-finals of the WTA event in Doha recently. Such form tells us that she can definitely compete at a high-profile event of this nature, which is something that she's done before, twice reaching the quarters, reaching the semis too. Julia Grabher returns to a hard surface for the first time in a month and looks up against it against a superior opponent.

Our Julia Grabher vs Maria Sakkari Prediction
Maria Sakkari was a little unlucky to once again bump into Iga Swiatek in Indian Wells last week. Now with a much more realistic task, the Greek player, who has previously done very well in Miami, can get back into the swing of things with a comfortable victory. Sakkari has been in good form of late, winning her last match against a lower-ranked player in commanding fashion, while she's now won five of her last seven.
I'd be surprised a former Miami Open semi-finalist failed to get the better of an opponent who is not only operating at a lower level but who is also desperately out of form, so much so that she's well worth betting on to win by a seven-game margin at odds of +100.
