Berrettini and Bergs are on the Day 6 Schedule at Miami Open Presented By Itau 2025 on Monday 24 March 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Matteo Berrettini (ITA) and Zizou Bergs (BEL) will face each other for the first time. Matteo Berrettini, aged 28, is currently ranked No. 30 in the world and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 6 after reaching the semifinals of the 2022 Australian Open. He is the third-highest-ranked Italian player since the start of the PIF ATP Rankings in 1973, with Jannik Sinner holding the No. 1 spot in 2024 and Adriano Panatta ranking No. 4 in 1976.
Berrettini made history at the 2021 Wimbledon tournament as the first Italian men’s singles finalist. He also became the first Italian Grand Slam men’s singles finalist since Panatta at the 1976 Roland Garros. Additionally, he is the first Italian man to reach the quarterfinals of all four Grand Slam events and the first to secure a win at the Nitto ATP Finals, defeating Thiem in the 2019 Round Robin stage.
With a grass record of 42-11, Berrettini has won four out of his ten ATP Tour titles on grass. This includes consecutive titles at the 2021 and 2022 London/Queen’s Club, making him the first player in the Open Era to win titles in both of his first two appearances at that event. Berrettini has also recorded significant wins over world No. 3 Dominic Thiem at the 2021 ATP Cup team final and world No. 3 Casper Ruud at the 2023 United Cup team final.
In Miami, Berrettini achieved his first win by defeating Gaston in the second round. This win marked his eighth win at the ATP Masters 1000 events out of nine (excluding 0-3 in Paris). He aims to advance to the Round of 16 at an ATP Masters 1000 event for the first time since the 2023 Monte-Carlo tournament and the first time on hard courts since the 2022 Indian Wells. Notably, Berrettini holds an impressive 30-3 record against players ranked outside the Top 50 since April.
On the other hand, Zizou Bergs, aged 25, is currently ranked No. 51 in the world, which is his career-high ranking. Previously a former World No. 12 junior, he broke into the Top 200 in July 2021 and the Top 100 in June 2024. Bergs achieved his career-high ranking of No. 51 in March 2025, right after reaching his first ATP Tour final in Auckland as a qualifier.
Bergs has earned notable victories in his career, including a win over world No. 24 Alejandro Tabilo en route to the 2024 Roland Garros third round as a qualifier. He also secured his first ATP Tour win against Ramos-Vinolas at the 2020 Antwerp tournament as a wildcard ranked 528th. Additionally, Bergs advanced to the quarterfinals of the ATP Tour at the 2023 Gstaad tournament as a qualifier, as well as at the 2024 Antwerp and 2024 Metz tournaments.
In 2022, Bergs earned a wildcard entry for Wimbledon after defeating former World No. 8 Jack Sock to win the 2022 Ilkley Challenger title as a qualifier. He has also won several Challenger titles, including St. Petersburg-1, Lille, Almaty, Tallahassee (in 2023 and 2024), Drummondville in 2023, and Yokkaichi in 2023.
During the current Miami tournament, Bergs achieved the biggest win of his career by defeating world No. 9 Andrey Rublev in the second round. This win propelled him to his first ATP Masters 1000 third round. He is currently ranked No. 49 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings and aspires to break into the Top 50. Moreover, he aims to become the first Belgian man to reach the fourth round in Miami since David Goffin in 2019. Bergs has a record of 3-13 against Top 30 players and is in search of consecutive wins.
Throughout the history of the PIF ATP Rankings since 1973, several Belgian players have reached the Top 50, including David Goffin (No. 7 in 2017), Steve Darcis (No. 38 in 2017), Xavier Malisse (No. 19 in 2002), Christophe Rochus (No. 38 in 2006), Olivier Rochus (No. 24 in 2005), Filip Dewulf (No. 39 in 1997), Kristof Vliegen (No. 30 in 2006), and Bernard Boileau (No. 41 in 1983).
