WTA Miami Day 1 Predictions Including Kessler vs Frech Following Aryna Sabalenka’s dominant victory in the Indian Wells final against Elena Rybakina, the WTA Tour shifts focus to the Miami Open, a 1000-tournament that promises thrilling action. While top-seeded players will enter the competition on Day 3, the first two days will feature intense matches between unseeded athletes vying for early momentum. The Day 1 schedule includes several intriguing matchups, with the most anticipated being the clash between McCartney Kessler and Magdalena Frech. This is their first career meeting, and both players have demonstrated comparable levels of play in 2026. Their encounter is expected to be a tightly contested three-setter, with small details in critical points likely deciding the outcome. Predictions lean toward Kessler securing a narrow victory. Another highlight is the match between Katie Boulter and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. Their previous encounter at the 2024 US Open ended in a close two-setter won by Maneiro. Boulter, however, has shown improved form this year, and the prediction suggests she could exact revenge in a similarly tight contest. The result is expected to hinge on consistency and composure under pressure. Zeynep Sonmez faces a challenging test against Beatriz Haddad Maia, who has struggled in 2026 after a five-match losing streak. Sonmez, on the other hand, has maintained a strong performance, giving her an edge despite Haddad Maia’s higher profile. The prediction favors Sonmez in a three-set battle, as her current form appears more reliable. Simona Waltert and Ajla Tomljanovic are set to meet again, with Waltert holding a 1-0 head-to-head advantage from their 2025 Singapore encounter.#katie_boulter #magdalena_frech #wta_miami #mcartney_kessler #jessica_bouzas_maneiro
