Prediction and Conclusion

After a while, Caroline Garcia has reached the final eight at any tournament, and she is coming off the biggest win of the season against the reigning US Open champion, Coco Gauff. Danielle Collins also has a solid season, as she has played more matches than her next opponent and has a much better record. This is the fourth match between the two, and Garcia has never won a set. She has a legit chance to do so in Miami, but Collins will once again be the winner in the end.
