The odds favor McNally (1.80 vs 2.00), representing a 55.6% implied probability of victory. This relatively small odds difference suggests a competitive match. McNally shows mixed form with a 4-2 record in her last 6 matches, including important victories against Juvan (2-1) and Tomljanovic (2-1). Her form demonstrates ability to fight in tight sets. Masarova has a 4-2 record with better set ratio (1.3-0.8), but her results are older and less relevant. McNally played a week ago while Masarova played yesterday, which could be a slight freshness advantage for McNally. The Miami tournament on hard courts suits both players. Lack of H2H data makes prediction more complex, but odds and McNally's more recent activity give her the edge. I expect a competitive match decided in three sets, with McNally as slight favorite.
Odds give McNally advantage, and her more recent activity and ability to fight in tight sets support this pick
Close odds and both players' forms suggest a lengthy battle with many games
Risky pick due to close odds, but McNally has shown ability to close out matches
