A look at the first-round matchups at the Miami Open presented by Itau, featuring Grigor Dimitrov vs. Raphael Collignon and Jenson Brooksby vs. Zizou Bergs.
**Grigor Dimitrov vs. Raphael Collignon** Raphael Collignon, a 24-year-old from Belgium, has been performing well on both the Challenger circuit and the main tour. He secured a win at the Challenger event in Pau and reached the quarterfinals in Brisbane. Dimitrov, despite being the higher-ranked player, has had a difficult start to the season with only two wins and five losses. Miami has been a favorable tournament for Dimitrov in the past, reaching the semifinals in 2025 and the finals in 2024. However, Collignon could pose a threat, especially considering Dimitrov's pectoral tear sustained at Wimbledon last summer. Some analysts predict Collignon to win in 3 sets.
**Jenson Brooksby vs. Zizou Bergs** Jenson Brooksby has had a somewhat inconsistent start to the year, with a 4-6 record. However, he showed improvement by winning a match against Alexei Popyrin in Indian Wells. Brooksby has recent experience playing against Zizou Bergs, having defeated him in straight sets in Dubai last month. Bergs, ranked No. 45 in the world (just behind Brooksby at No. 42), had a strong showing at the United Cup but has not maintained that form since. Given Brooksby's home advantage and recent victory over Bergs, he is expected to advance. Predictions favor Brooksby winning in 2 sets.
