29th seed Matteo Berrettini will take on Zizou Bersgs in the third round of the 2025 Miami Open. While the former received a bye into the second round due to his seeding and kicked off his campaign with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over Hugo Gaston, the latter defeated Nuno Borges in straight sets in the opening round and followed it up with a massive 7-5, 6-4 win against Andrey Rublev.

Berrettini has been a victim of injury struggles over the years, which has hampered his consistency at the top of the game. After a poor start to the season, where he faced early exits at the Brisbane International, Australian Open, and Rotterdam Open, the Italian found a much-needed quarterfinal run at the Qatar Open, defeating Novak Djokovic and Tallon Griekspoor en route.

He followed it up with another impressive quarterfinal run at the Dubai Tennis Championships Gael Monfils and Christopher O'Connell. His run was ended by Stefanos Tsitsipas, who would defeat the Italian again in the third round of the Indian Wells Masters.

Meanwhile, Bergs has been enjoying a breakthrough season reaching his maiden ATP Tour final at the ASB Classic to kick off his year. After an opening-round exit at the Australian Open, he bounced with a semifinal run at the Open 13 following which he suffered three consecutive second-round exits at the Qatar Open, Dubai Tennis Championships, and the Indian Wells Masters
