WTA 1000 ATP M1000 Miami 3/19 - 3/31 2024

[ashkor87]

That's possible of course, but I think there is also a very high chance of Sunshine double by either Swiatek or Alcaraz. Iga has done it before.

yes, if anyone can, Iga can.. she is strong enough.. less sure of Alcaraz..he seems a bit more fragile to me.

[ashkor87]

MIami is just a bit faster than IW so the court speed factor would again predict -
Men: Alcaraz or Zverev will win
Medvedev and Sinner will not, though Sinner's chances are sightly better this time because the court is a bit faster.
Rublev will do well.. so will Shelton.
Women: Sabalenka, Swiatek, Rybakina would be the favorites to win, in that order, the freshness factor gives Saba the edge
Pegula will do well, though that is purely the freshness factor, not court speed.
Osaka will do well, so will Samsonova
Alexandrova will not.
Anisimova, if she is fit, will do well..

Kostyuk may not be fresh enough this time around..
there will be many bagels again, but a bit fewer than at IW

the court speed theory did quite well at IW in my opinion.

Disagree.
You said Sinner and Medvedev would not win, and they indeed did not. But you said it in the sense that they would not do well because of the court speed. They actually did pretty well; SF and F are not bad showing, especially when losing to the eventual champ.
You picked the #1, #2 and #4 seeds in the women. Hardly going out on a limb. Sabalenka went out early, and predicting that Iga will win a tournament (out of grass) is no incredible feat.
Your predicted Kostyuk and Coco would not do well. They did, reaching later stages.

Overall. I say predicting based on court speed is a 50% thing.

And predicting that Miami will be won by Alcaraz is a safe bet. Zverev, I grant you, is riskier.
And you are again going for Iga, Aryna and Elena. Hard to do poorly, there.

[ashkor87]

The point is Sinner would have won on a faster surface, and so might Coco. It is not my prediction I am concerned with, it is how the prediction depends on the speed factor. I predicted Kostyuk Would do well.

[Owendonovan]

What percent does court speed determine the outcome versus ability in your prediction exercise? Which increments of speed are you basing your descriptions of court speed? ie; is slow 5 or 10 mph faster than really slow, medium 5-10 mph faster than slow?)

[JTContinental]

since fresh legs are a great, maybe even decisive factor here, let us look for good performances from
Zverev, Rublev, Halep, Anisimova, Qinwen Zheng and, of course, Pegula.. they must have gotten some good rest by now. I am assuming Djokovic is not playing..Rybakina if she is recovered, who knows..Osaka is getting better by the day, too, so maybe she will do well... losing to Mertens was a shocker (to me at any rate)

Halep? If she even wins her first round, she draws Sabalenka in round 2.

American Amanda Anisimova, who made strong comeback in Australia after an extended break from the game, is not quite ready physically for her home tournament in Miami. New plan is to return to tour in Charleston on clay. Hope it works out for the former French Open semifinalist

Sabalenka should be nervous. .Halep is a champion, in the same class as herself, and will be highly motivated...! Is she match-fit,? Certainly not. Let us see how well she does...very good chance of beating Badosa, though, who is not herself always fit to play...very interesting...
