Iga Swiatek vs Camila Giorgi prediction
Iga Swiatek heads into the 2024 Miami Open full of confidence after her dominant performance in the Californian desert.
The World No. 1 picked up the BNP Paribas Open without dropping a single set and looking solid on both wings. She comprehensively defeated the likes of Danielle Collins, Linda Noskova, Caroline Wozniacki, and Marta Kostyuk en route to the final, where she beat Maria Sakkari.
As for Giorgi, she comes into the contest on the back of a comprehensive win herself. She brushed aside M. Frech 6-4, 6-2 in round one, winning an incredible 83% of points on her first serve. She was equally decisive on her returns, breaking serve three times.
The faster hard court in Miami is likely to assist Swiatek, who has the complete all-round package. Giorgi, meanwhile, will have to serve well and dominate the rallies from the baseline if she is to have a chance.
Pick: Swiatek in straight sets.
