Key matches
Jannik Sinner (2) def. Damir Dzumhur 6-3, 6-3
World No. 2 made a dominant, efficient start to his title bid just days after winning Indian Wells. He dropped just eight points on serve, won 14/17 net points and extended his Masters 1000 winning streak to 12 matches (tying Novak Djokovic’s record for consecutive sets won at that level with 24). Next: against Corentin Moutet (30), who beat Tomas Machac 6-0, 1-6, 6-4.
Alexander Shevchenko def. Ben Shelton (8) 6-7(3), 7-6(3), 6-3
Kazakhstan made a comeback from two points down in the second set, won the tiebreak and broke early in the third with aggressive baseline play.
This was Shevchenko’s third top 10 win, and it dropped Shelton to 1-4 lifetime in Miami, and he hasn’t had a good Sunshie Double. Next up: against Ugo Humbert (31), who crushed Gabriel Diallo 6-1, 6-4, and he’s a handful on lower-bouncing courts.
Alexander Zverev (3) def. Martin Damm (WC) 6-2, 6-4
Even start for the third seed in his first match against the young American wildcard. Zverev extended his decade-leading Masters 1000 wins record (now 103), his streak vs outside the Top 100 to 15, and his record vs lefties to 40-1 since RG 2023 (their forehand into his backhand is his bread and butter). Next: vs. Marin Cilic, who saved a match point to upset Brandon Nakashima (27) 2-6, 6-4, 7-6(7).
Daniil Medvedev (9) def. Rei Sakamoto (WC) 6-7(10), 6-3, 6-1
The Indian Wells finalist bounced back after dropping a tight first set tiebreak to the 19-year-old Japanese wildcard (who earned his first ATP win in R1). Medvedev rolled in the last two sets.
Rafael Jodar (Q) def. Aleksandar Vukic (LL) 6-1, 6-2
The breakout continued for the 19-year-old Spaniard. He dominated in 56 minutes, saved all break points and leads the Next Gen ATP Live Race over Joao Fonseca. Next: against Tomas Martin Etcheverry (29), who beat Zizou Bergs 7-6(5), 7-6(3).
