Miami Open Match Preview

It’s about time these two faced off. The 27-year-old American and the 20-year-old Frenchman are pretty far apart in age, but they couldn’t be closer in the rankings right now: Tiafoe is 17th, Fils is 18th.

Despite already cracking the Top 20, Fils so far hasn’t had the breakout 2025 that seemed to be in the cards for him. He lost early in Melbourne, Rotterdam, and Dubai. But he began to round into form in Indian Wells, where he reached the quarterfinals and lost a thriller to Daniil Medvedev, 9-7 in a third-set tiebreaker.

Tiafoe has also sputtered to start the year. In each his five tournaments, he has won one match, and lost the next; not the results we expect from a guy who nearly made the US Open final last summer. But he also looked better in a tight opening-round win over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.

The two will meet in the late afternoon in the Grandstand, which should be just the place to see them pit their high-flying athleticism against each other for the first time. Winner: Tiafoe—Steve Tignor
