Trending
Guaff has made a really good start to the season, chalking up 17 wins from 21 matches and a title-winning run at the ASB Classic in Auckland. She also reached the semifinals of the Australian Open and in Indian Wells.
The American began her campaign in Miami, cruising past Nadia Podoroska in straight sets, dropping just three games and serving a breadstick in the first set. She is one of the favorites at the WTA 1000 event and will be hoping to make a deep run.
Oceane Dodin has also made a promising start to the season, amassing five wins from seven matches (WTA 250 and above) and a fourth-round appearance at the 2024 Australian. She outfoxed the likes of Martina Trevisan and Clara Burel in Melbourne, but couldn't make her mark against Zheng Qinwen of China.
Dodin entered the main draw in Miami via the lucky loser system and outclassed Arantxa Rus in the second round. She defeated the Dutchwoman in an absorbing three-set bout that finished 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.

Coco Gauff vs Oceane Dodin prediction
The California crowd can expect a thrilling encounter between Coco Gauff and Oceane Dodin in the third round of the Miami Open.
Gauff has been one of the most consistent players on the women's tour. She came close to reaching the final at the Indian Wells and will be hoping to continue her vigorous form in Miami. The American is known for her potent serve, exceptional court coverage skills, and resilient all-round game.
Dodin, on the contrary, has made the most of her lucky break in the main draw. Despite a lackluster season in 2023, the French player has stuck to the task and is slowly reaching her best form on tour. The 27-year-old Frenchwoman likes to play an aggressive brand of tennis and isn't afraid to take risks. Against a player like Gauff, she will need to begin on the front foot.
Ultimately, the player who executes their strategy to a tee and keeps a check on their errors will have the upper hand in this bout. Dodin has the potential to exploit Gauff's weaknesses, but the American should be able to make the necessary adjustments to her game and overpower her opponent in the third round.
Pick: Gauff to win in straight sets.
