Taylor Fritz vs Matteo Berrettini Preview

Matteo Berrettini's competitiveness in almost every match this year holds more weight than his unfavourable head-to-head record and Taylor Fritz’s home advantage.

I expect him to either win or, at the very least, make this a highly competitive battle.

Taylor Fritz Form

Taylor Fritz has faced challenges in every match over the past fortnight but has managed to win them all in straight sets, advancing to the quarterfinals without dropping a set.

Currently ranked world No. 4, Fritz had a slow and underwhelming start to the season by top-four standards.

He will be hoping that his strong run at the Miami Masters marks the beginning of a turnaround and leads to better results in the coming months.

Despite having several favourable opportunities to compete on home soil over the past three months, he has reached only one quarterfinal.

That result was disappointing as well, as he lost to underdog Alejandro Davidovich Fokina while attempting to defend his title in Delray Beach.

Fritz’s record at the Miami Masters has been relatively underwhelming, especially compared to his success in the other Sunshine Double event at Indian Wells, where he is a former champion and a past semifinalist.

In his eight previous appearances in Miami, he has never advanced beyond the quarterfinals. His best result came in 2023 when he reached the last eight but was unfortunate to face Carlos Alcaraz.

Matteo Berrettini Form

Matteo Berrettini, on the other hand, has been exceptionally solid since the start of the season. Given his consistent performances, his confidence and morale are likely higher than Fritz’s going into this matchup.

Berrettini has maintained his strong start to the year with an impressive run to the quarterfinals in Miami, securing wins over the in-form Zizou Bergs and world No. 11 Alex de Minaur.

His improvement on outdoor hard courts has been evident. He won only seven matches on the surface throughout the entire 2024 season but has already secured nine victories in the first three months of 2025.

Additionally, he recorded just three top-20 wins in both the 2023 and 2024 seasons but has already claimed two this year against Novak Djokovic and De Minaur. Now he is aiming for a third.

Unlike Fritz, Berrettini lacks recent experience in high-stakes matches at the Masters level, which could be a concern for him in this contest.

The last time he played in a Masters 1000 quarterfinal was in Madrid 2021, where he defeated Cristian Garin.

His overall record in Masters 1000 quarterfinals stands at 2-1, including 1-0 on hard courts.

Verdict

Taylor Fritz v Matteo Berrettini

Matteo Berrettini's consistency this year outweighs his poor head-to-head record and Fritz’s home edge. He has a strong chance to win or push this into a tight battle.
