The men’s singles eight-final matches will be played in Miami on Tuesday. The Czech Republic will also be represented as Tomas Machac vs Matteo Arnaldi. The Czech native is a slight favourite to advance to the top eight. The match will start on Tuesday 26 March at 16:00 CET.

When to watch Tomas Machac vs Matteo Arnaldi?

Considering that this is the eighth round of the Masters tournament, it is a very favourable draw for both players. Tomas Machac has a great opportunity to play in the quarterfinals of such a big tournament for the first time. The match will start on Tuesday 26 March at 16:00 CET.

Tough match Machac, Arnaldi without losing a set

Twenty-three-year-old Machac knocked out the host Darwin Blanche at the start of the tournament, who received a wild card from the organizers. This was followed by a triumph of a lifetime against Andrey Rublev, the current world number six, in two sets. He also beat Andy Murray of Great Britain in the hexagonal final, but the players spent almost three and a half hours on court. However, the following day was a free day, so he should be physically 100% ready.

Matteo Arnaldi showed his potential already in Indian Wells, where he took a set from Carlos Alcaraz, the later winner. In Miami he continued his great performance, taking on Fils, Bublik and Shapovalov. He had some problems with the Canadian tennis player. In the tiebreak, he had to turn away a set point opportunity from his opponent, but in the end he won the shortened game for himself by 9:7.

Betting tip – Machac will win

I expect the Czech player to follow up on the only previous duel and not let the promotion slip away. The players met in the qualification in Dubai last year and Machac won clearly after sets 6:0 and 6:1. But now I expect a much tougher battle.
