On Tuesday, the Miami Open matches presented by Itau will be tantalizing. All fourth round clashes will take place at Hard Rock Stadium.
Novak Djokovic, seeded, faces a serious test against Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut, 22nd seeded. Although the Serbs lead their FedEx ATP Head2Head rival 7-2, Bautista Agut won his last clash in January at Qatar's ExxonMobil Open and has triumphed in his last two matches on the court. The 30-year-old has been in top form this season, winning the title in Doha (D. Berdych) and reaching his first quarterfinal of the Grand Slam at the Australian Open (L. To Tsitsipas) .
Djokovic was put to work in his first two games this fortnight. The six-time Miami champion was pushed to a break from tie against Bernard Tomic and lost a set against Federico Delbonis. But the world No. 1 is at its best in the final stages of the tournament and will want to avenge his most recent defeat against Bautista Agut.

Fourth-seeded Roger Federer will lead the night session against Russia's Daniil Medvedev of Russia No. 13. The Swiss improved his form considerably in his third round victory on Monday, leading 35 winners to defeat Filip Krajinovic. Federer leads his FedEx ATP Head2Head series against Medvedev 2-0, with both victories being won last October at the Rolex Shanghai Masters and Swiss Indoors Basel.

Medvedev stretched Federer to three sets in Shanghai and remained solid in his results. The Russian triumphed last month at the Sofia Open (D. Fucsovics) and started the season with a second place finish at Brisbane International (N. Nishikori). But with only one win over a Top 10 player (Wawrinka, 2017 Wimbledon), a top-ranked victory would take the world No. 15 ATP ranking to a new level of his career.
Other games on Monday include seventh-seeded and reigning US champion John Isner, who will face 19th-seeded Kyle Edmund of Britain, the sixth seed, the No. 1 seed. South Africa's Kevin Anderson, facing Australia's Jordan Thompson, and eighth-seeded Greece, fighting Denis Shapovalov, of Canada's 20th seed, in a clash at # NextGenATP.
