The Miami Open is now well underway and we have already witnessed some major exits both the women’s and the men’s draw.
Serena Williams crashed out in the first round, as did women’s singles favourite Naomi Osaka.
In the men’s draw, both Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem were early casualties of the tough draw in the USA.
But the tournament continues this week and betting fans can live stream tennis from the Miami Open throughout with Unibet!
We’re at the fourth round stage as of Monday, March 25 and this is when the action gets serious.
So here are the big bets you could make this week…
Miami Open tennis live stream and betting
Djokovic vs Federer final
Could it happen? Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer have been kept apart in the draw and they are on course to meet in the final on Sunday. Djokovic needed three sets to bypass Federico Delbonis in his third-round match but the Serb is still the 1.30 favourite in the 1.30 favourite from his quarter to reach the final here.

Federer, meanwhile, should cruise through these early rounds but, like Djokovic, needed three sets in his last match against Radu Albot.
It is assumed these men will both reach the final is Federer is 1.18 to beat Monday’s opponent Filip Krajinovic (match start 17:00 UK time). It’s worth watching both Federer and Djokovic throughout the tournament if you want to enjoy scintillating tennis, as well as betting on heavy favourites.
Kyrgios the outside bet
Once again Nick Kyrgios stole the headlines on Sunday with his outlandish win over Dusan Lajovic. The controversial Australian has as many detractors as he does supporters. Yet Kyrgios is a good bet to win the Miami Open here. Remember, he wont the Mexican Open title last month and has had few problems so far in Miami.

Can Kyrgios win the title? Well, he is 2.35 to win his quarter. And that consists of Borna Coric, Felix Auger Aliassime and Nikoloz Basilashvili. Now that’s a good price for him to progress to the semi-finals.
Halep and Kvitova going strong
Over in the women’s singles draw, the best tennis live stream to bet on right now are matches involving Simona Halep. The Romian had to battle through her third-round clash with luck loser Polona Hercog and faces Venus Williams in the fourth round.

Now, Halep should be a comfortable victor here and is 1.42 to beat Williams on Monday night (18:00 UK time). But with Osaka and Osaka, Serena Williams and Elina Svitolina having already fallen early in this tournament, going with the seed is not guaranteed a victory.
In fact, Karolina Pliskova’s fourth-round match against Yulia Putintseva — set for 01:00 UK time on Tuesday — should be closer than the tennis betting odds suggest. Putintseva is up and running for this tournament and has won three matches — beating two seeds and former Wimbledon semi-finalist Kirsten Flipkens — on her way to the fourth round.
Putintseva at 4.00 to win this match is not a bad price at all.
