Defeats are of course not gratifying for any reason, but Dominic Thiem's exit from Steve Johnson's side in the first round of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Miami might be a good omen: after all, Thiem and Johnson were also in Indian Wells failed at the beginning, the Austrian had then won the individual.
In Miami against Marcel Granollers and Nikola Mektic ended 6: 7 (4) and 5: 7. Mektic also came to Miami as the Indian Wells winner, but in California the regular partner of the injured Alexander Peya had won with Horacio Zeballos.
Hurkacz strong lately
Dominic Thiem has scheduled the game schedule for Friday at 7 p.m. local time (0 a.m.CET, live on Sky and in our match tracker) at the grand stand. The next good omen, so to speak, after all, it also took a few games in Indian Wells before Thiem was allowed on the center court. However, the opening match in Miami would have the potential to be a hit, opponent Hubert Hurkacz has recently reached the quarter-finals in Dubai and Indian Wells.
The starting position of the Austrian number one is not bad, after all Dominic Thiem has no points to defend from the previous year. at that time the Lichtenwörther could not compete due to his ankle injury. Hurkacz, on the other hand, already brings his first individual competition experience to his first encounter with Thiem: the Pole had a firm grip on Matteo Berrettini from Italy at the start.
