Without available odds, analysis relies on available form and ranking data. Roberto Bautista Agut (ranked 89) has a significant advantage over Duckworth whose ranking is unknown. The Spaniard shows solid form with a 3-3 record in his last 6 matches, including an impressive 2-1 victory against Stefanos Tsitsipas. Losses came against quality opponents like Carlos Alcaraz and Cameron Norrie. Miami Masters is played on hard courts where Bautista Agut traditionally performs well. Duckworth is an Australian player who typically hovers around 50-80 in ATP rankings, putting him in similar category as Bautista Agut, but the Spaniard's greater experience at big tournaments gives him the edge. Lack of data on Duckworth's form makes assessment difficult, but Bautista Agut's consistency and Masters-level experience make him the favorite.
