Priced at +300 moneyline, Nikoloz Basilashvili might have a solid shot at an upset over Patrick Kypson in the first round of the qualification stages at the 2026 Miami Open.
Current Form:
Patrick Kypson will make another bid to qualify in the second half of the Sunshine Swing of the ATP Tour, two weeks after coming up short in the qualifying rounds of the 2026 Indian Wells Open. Ranked No.97th in the world, Kypson lost to Daniel Merida 6-3, 3-6, 6-7 in the first qualification round of the Indian Wells. The American caught the attention of tennis fans after stunning world’s No.6 Alex de Minaur 6-1, 6-7, 7-6 in the first round of the 2026 Acapulco Open.
Seasoned veteran Nikoloz Basilashvili will try to qualify for the main draw of the 2026 Miami Open after reaching the quarterfinals of the 2026 Phoenix Challenger. The former world’s No.16 and former Indian Wells Open finalist is 4-9 on the season, winning 76 percent of his first serves but only converting 27.5 percent of breakpoint chances.

Our Patrick Kypson vs Nikoloz Basilashvili Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Nikoloz Basilashvili upsets Patrick Kypson 7-6, 4-6, 7-6
Kypson might have gained some headway in the past weeks following his huge win over Alex De Minaur, but I am still not convinced he can become a more consistent top-100 player on the tour. Kypson just lost to the world’s No.135 Daniel Merida in three sets at the Indian Wells qualifier, which casts doubts on whether he can be a regular fixture in big tournaments.
On the other hand, Basilashvili reached the quarterfinals of the Phoenix Challenge, in which he put up a gallant stand against No.1 seed Corentin Moutet 6-7, 4-6. Averaging 7.1 aces and 76.6 percent of his first serves this season, Basilashvili’s aggressive baseline play could translate well to the fast courts of Miami in an afternoon play, where balls are much bouncier than in the night sessions.
Our betting prediction for Nikoloz Basilashvili vs. Patrick Kypson: Nikoloz Basilashvili will win.
