Playing Styles and Prediction

Kopriva has been consistent this season and produced a couple of decent results in order to qualify for Miami. However the Czech Republican is yet to win more than two matches in a single tournament this season and knows there’s a long way to go before he can think about the world’s top 100.

Draper will look to dictate play with his forehand as the Brit aims to be consistent on serve, forcing Kopriva into high-risk tennis. Meanwhile Kopriva will look to be dominant on return and test the Brit’s second serve as Kopriva aims to create angles to force Draper into difficult shots. This will be a tough test for Draper but the Brit should have enough quality to come through.

Prediction: Draper in three sets.
