Ashleigh Barty (1) will meet Kristina Kucova in the second round of the Miami Open 2021 on Thursday, March 25th, 2021.
Will the world number 1 be able to start their title defense strong at the Miami Open, or will qualifying Kucova in the second round bring a shocking surprise?
Ashleigh Barty finally returns to the WTA Tour back after not leaving Australia for more than a year and only attending the Australian Open and taking part in tournaments this year. Barty is the defending champion of 2019 here in Miami, and I’m sure she will be very determined to get back to the top of the tennis world. Barty is number 1 and number 1 in the world but she has to start defending her points this year as she received a pass last year due to the points freezing. How will the defending champion fare in just her third tournament in a year and a half?
Kristina Kucova came in the first round through a very close 3-set encounter against Heather Baptiste and won 6-4 / 2-6 / 7-5. Kucova was able to keep her composure in the very tight moments and there were many. However, Kucova absolutely needs to be ahead from start to finish in this round two game if she is able to get anything out of this game against Barty. Kucova is not a player who has the level to beat Barty on her own, but can the surprise still happen here in Miami?
This will be the first meeting between the two players and unfortunately this will be one for Kristina Kucova Being dominated by Ashleigh Barty. Barty loves these conditions and her victory here in Miami in 2019 really was her breakthrough. Barty will be very determined to get out of here with a strong win in the second round and she won’t let Kristina Kucova stand in the way in this encounter. Expect this match to end in straight sets and Ashleigh Barty to make his way to the third round.
