Top tennis influencer issues prediction on Alexander Zverev’s Miami Open 2023 campaign

For this year’s Miami Open, tennis influencer Rachel Stuhlmann has high expectations for Alexander Zverev. The German athlete’s 2022 season was cut short by a freak ankle injury sustained at the French Open, and he is now on a recovery quest. The World No. 15 will play Japan’s Taro Daniel in the Round of 64 of the Miami Open after receiving a bye in the first Round.

Stuhlmann has gambled on Zverev to win the Miami Open despite not having found his rhythm since his comeback. The influencer supported her audacious claim with her earlier accurate predictions of Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic winning the 2023 Indian Wells and the Australian Open, respectively.

“Between Australian Open and Indian Wells, we are two for two this year. And I am eager to make it three for three here in Miami. I am just going to go straight into it. I got [Alexander Zverev] winning this one,” she announced in an Instagram Story.

Stuhlmann added that Alexander Zverev’s playing style is favoured by the humid Miami weather as well as the heavy tennis balls utilised in the competition, “Between the humidity and the heavy ball, he does really well in these conditions, and he has made it to the finals here in the past.”

Rachel Stuhlmann also issued her predictions for Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton

Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz’s chances of competing at the 2023 Miami Open are likewise looked upon favourably by Rachel Stuhlmann. This season, the two athletes have achieved some notable victories.

“I also have Americans Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton making it pretty deep in the draw. Fritz has become a regular in the final rounds of the big tournaments and hits a big flat-hander from both sides. I think the super heavy ball will work in his favour. And finally, Ben Shelton is just ‘that guy’ right now. He is one of the most exciting players on tour at the moment, and he is probably feeling pretty confident after just signing that deal with Federer,” she said.
