It is a shame Caroline cant play like that against other players enjoyable match!

Maybe she envies those 4 GS titles next to Naomi name.

It's always good to see veterans duke it out.Osaka needs matches and hopefully by summer she would be rocking the joint.I notice that she is not emotional as she used to,and motherhood does strengthen that invisible backbone.

Linda came to play tonight, takes the opening TB. Iga takes a 10 min break after the set. Linda now down 2 breaks in the 2nd, so we're likely going 3.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I just got home, after my dental appointment I see Iga and Linda are locked in a 3 set battle I am not surprised

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga escapes in a 3 set win over Linda! 67(7) 64 64 down love 40 while serving for the match!

Good win from Danielle Collins 61 62 over Avanesyan

I think she didn't play IW on purpose,to prepare for Miami.I want a someone new to win..like Navarro or Pegula.

Elena seems to get ill in the big tournaments, lately, before or after and either has to withdraw or loses, oh wait, Elena says she is still in pain, and hasnt had time to prepare 100% for Miami, that is a ready made excuse if she loses in Miami, Elena has finalists points to defend in Miami, losing the final to Petra, I wonder how her pregnancy is going?
Seeing it is Collins last Miami tournament I wouldn't mind seeing her win

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Boulter was down 2-5 v Azarenka
Saved 5 SPs to get back to 5 all
Vika breaks and wins the 1st set 75

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Garcia is a complete Head Case, not watching her match against Coco anymore

 

[Hoergren]

Vika continues winning in a windy match - can she win her third Miami Open? -Nah too early with those thoughts.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Three time champion Victoria Azarenka defeats Katie Boulter 75 61 to reach the QFs in this event for the 6th time
Boulter put up a good effort in the 1st set coming back from being 2-5 down, Vika too good in the 2nd set
Well done Vika!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco Gauff needs to know how to play in windy conditions?

Coco Gauff needs to know how to play in windy conditions?

a lot of slop from her w/ one good set sandwiched in between. I'm sure this is not the way she wanted this HC swing to go.

Banshee serve isn't good enough to win this caliber of tourney. All the girls left will munch on her 2nd's
