Evans D./Skupski N. vs Mektic N./Pavic M. Prediction 03.04.2021

Rate this post

We have a forecast for the final of the Miami tournament in doubles. They take the Croats out as clear favorites to win the match and I think that is the case because of what they have shown during the tournament and throughout the rest of the year. I don’t like the option of winning the first set and match, which is around 1’66 more or less, but I’m going to risk a little more.

Evans D./Skupski N. : Form, news and statistics

Of their 24 victories, 21 have won the first set and 17 by 2-0. The dynamics are very good, and in the 4 games played here in Miami they have been won 2-0. They have not lost the serve yet and are very solid in that aspect with very good percentages of first serve won and with more aces than their rivals in all the games. Yesterday against a very very top pair like Ram / Salisbury they only yielded two break points in the first service that could save them and from there they did not give one more. Evans / Skupski are going to be the rivals, I didn’t expect them to go that far and that’s why I prefer it.

Mektic N./Pavic M. : Form, news and statistics

A final with Dodig / Polasek would have been more difficult for me. Despite the great tournament that the British have made, I think the final will be for the Croats because of their high level. They have only played these 4 games together, Evans is not a regular in doubles and he is not a great server, so I do not think they will reach a hypothetical tie break where he can fall one side or the other the set. They can come obviously but it is more complicated. I think Mektic / Pavic are going to continue their plethora of streak and are going to prove once again who the best doubles pair is currently, at least on hard court.
