Magdalena Frech, listed as a +111 underdog at DraftKings, will kick things off in Miami against the skidding McCartney Kessler in the first round.
Current Form:
McCartney Kessler seeks to restore her confidence after posting a 4-5 record in her first nine matches in 2026. Kessler, who peaked at world’s No.30 last year, picked up two wins at Austin 125 before bowing to an in-form Kimberly Birrell 7-6, 6-7, 0-6 in three sets. Kessler also suffered a first-round exit at Indian Wells, losing to Zeynep Sonmez 6-7, 0-6.
Magdalena Frech will also try to recalibrate in Miami after bombing out in the first round of the 2026 Indian Wells Open. Frech collapsed against Storm Hunter 6-3, 5-7, 3-6 just days after losing to Cristina Bucsa 1-6, 4-6, 6-4 in the final of the WTA 500 Merida Open.
