AI is an interesting technology that also makes a lot of mistakes. We had fun asking Grok who are the favourites to win the upcoming Miami Open. Interesting enough it did not pick all carrots or but Medvedev and Sabalenka. This was its answer.
“Predicting the winner of the Miami Open 2025 is challenging as it depends on numerous factors like player form, injuries, and matchups, and the tournament is just beginning today, March 18, 2025. However, I can offer some insights based on current trends and expert opinions.
For the men’s singles, Jannik Sinner, the defending champion, won’t be competing due to his doping suspension. This opens the field for top players like Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, and Daniil Medvedev. Zverev, likely the top seed, and Medvedev, a former champion with a strong hard-court record, are frequently cited as favorites by analysts. Alcaraz, the 2022 winner, is also a strong contender if he maintains his recent Indian Wells form. Some experts lean toward Medvedev or Zverev due to their consistency and experience on this surface.
On the women’s side, defending champion Danielle Collins returns, but faces tough competition from Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff. Sabalenka’s power and Swiatek’s past success here (2022) make them popular picks, while Gauff, playing at home, could capitalize on crowd support. Collins’ emotional farewell season might fuel an upset, but Swiatek or Sabalenka are often favored for their current rankings and hard-court prowess.
If I had to pick based on available sentiment and past performance, I’d say Daniil Medvedev and Aryna Sabalenka have strong chances, but upsets are common in Miami’s fast conditions.”
