Monday is scheduled to feature the conclusion of third round play in men’s singles, as well as all fourth round play in women’s singles.
Two of the sport’s most promising teenagers, who are both also already top 10 players, will face off in the fourth round on Monday, as 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva plays 19-year-old Victoria Mboko.
And those are just two of the many top 10 WTA players in action, with all eight round of 16 matches to be played on this day. Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Amanda Anisimova will also take to the courts.
ATP third round singles action on Monday is headlined by Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, and Daniil Medvedev.
Here’s a rundown of the most notable matches on Monday (in chronological order, all times local):
Karolina Muchova (13) vs. Alexandra Eala (31) – 11:00am on Grandstand Court
This is a first-time encounter, and it’s also the first time Muchova has ever advanced beyond the third round in Miami. Eala was a surprise semifinalist a year ago, her big breakout moment as a then-19-year-old. The Filipino has already proven to not be afraid of big stages, and as per Tennis Abstract, she owns six career wins over top 20 opposition.
Francisco Cerundolo (18) vs. Daniil Medvedev (9) – 12:00pm on Stadium Court
Medvedev seems to have rediscovered his mojo this season, with a record of 19-4 and two titles. Cerundolo also owns a title this year, and he has advanced to the quarterfinals or better at this event in three of the last four years. Surprisingly, this is also a first-time encounter.
Mirra Andreeva (8) vs. Victoria Mboko (10) – Second on Butch Buccholz Court
These teenage standouts have already split two meetings during 2026. In the final of Adelaide, Andreeva prevailed 6-3, 6-1. In the round of 16 in Doha, Mboko prevailed in a third-set tiebreak.
Mirra is 14-5 on the year, but since winning back-to-back WTA 1000 titles just over a year ago in Dubai and Indian Wells, the aforementioned Adelaide title is the only time she’s reached another final. Victoria is 18-5 this season, and after reaching the final in Adelaide, also advanced to the final in Doha, where Mboko defeated Andreeva, Rybakina, and Anisimova in succession.
Sorana Cirstea vs. Coco Gauff (4) – Not Before 1:00pm on Stadium Court
Cauff has needed to come back from a set down in each of her first two matches, and she is 0-3 lifetime in the round of 16 at this tournament. Cirstea has already taken out two seeds (Noskova, Mertens). Their only previous meeting took place six years ago at the Australian Open, where a then-15-year-old Gauff won 7-5 in the third.
Frances Tiafoe (19) vs. Jakub Mensik (12) – Third on Grandstand Court
Mensik required three sets to start off his title defense, against qualifier Adam Walton, bringing his 2026 record to 15-5. Tiafoe is 13-6 during 2026, and has won more matches in Miami than any other Masters 1000 event. Last September in Davis Cup, Mensik was victorious over Tiafoe in straights.
Aryna Sabalenka (1) vs. Qinwen Zheng (23) – Third on Stadium Court
This is a rematch from the championship match at the 2024 Australian Open, which was one of seven straight-set wins Sabalenka owns against Qinwen. Sabalenka’s sole loss to her came last May in Rome on clay. On Sunday, Qinwen eliminated another Australian Open champ, Madison Keys, in her biggest win since her comeback from injury last month. Sabalenka has now claimed 36 consecutive sets against opponents not named Rybakina.
Marin Cilic vs. Alexander Zverev (3) – Fourth on Grandstand Court
In just his sixth Masters appearance since 2022, as knee troubles have derailed his career, Cilic outlasted Nakashima in a third-set tiebreak to reach the third round of a Masters for the first time in over three-and-a-half years. But he is 1-7 against Zverev, with his only win coming over 10 years ago, when a young Zverev was barely ranked inside the top 100.
Corentin Moutet (30) vs. Jannik Sinner (2) – Not Before 7:00pm on Stadium Court
Moutet got involved in quite a unique social media dustup with Danielle Collins on Sunday, and any recap I provide here cannot do it justice. The Frenchman is just 3-4 this year at tour level, and in his only prior match against Sinner, at the 2024 French Open, lost in four sets.
Amanda Anisimova (6) vs. Belinda Bencic (12) – Last on Grandstand Court
This is another high-profile WTA matchup on the day, between two of the game’s most impressive backhands. Their head-to-head is tied at 2-2 overall, and at 1-1 on hard courts. Their only match within the last three years occurred last March in Indian Wells, where Bencic prevailed 6-1 in the third.
Elena Rybakina (3) vs. Talia Gibson (Q) – Not Before 8:30pm on Stadium Court
21-year-old Australian Talia Gibson is enjoying the best month of her career. She started March ranked outside the top 100, but has now come through qualifying in both Indian Wells and Miami to reach the second week of both tournaments. During that span, she has accumulated five wins over top 20 players (Alexandrova, Tauson, Paolini, Osaka, Jovic). A win on Monday night would propel her into the top 50. However, an in-form Rybakina is of the WTA’s tallest tasks, and would be the biggest win of Gibson’s young career.
