Miami Open

Canadians Bianca Andreescu and Denis Shapovalov have advanced to the third round of the Miami Open, while Leylah Fernandez's singles tournament is over.

Rafael Nadal dropped out of the top 10 on Monday for the first time in 18 years. 1 ranking, defeated Facundo Bagnis 6-0, 6-2 to advance to the third round in Miami. Shapovalov, who had a bye in the first round, improved to 2-0 against Pella. Alcaraz, who beat Casper Ruud in the 2022 U.S. Sakkari managed to get one of those breaks back, but couldn't manage the second. Andreescu went up another break, which gave her a needed cushion.

Bianca Andreescu edged Maria Sakkari in their rivalry's third three-set battle to reach the Miami Open third round.

A shoulder injury forced her to retire in the Hua Hin semifinals at the start of February, and visibly affected her during that month's Middle East swing. Her record since coming back is 28-19 so far, and she has reached No.31 in the rankings (potentially returning to the Top 30 after Miami). "I felt like I was on my heels a lot of the time during the match, but I made every ball," said Andreescu. She also got the better of a three-break exchange that opened the decider, nailing key return winners to capture the Sakkari serve twice. Sakkari's tally grew throughout the first half of the third set as she struggled for rhythm, though she delivered a valiant late-stage fightback attempt from 4-1 down. [defeat of Emma Raducanu in the first round](https://www.wtatennis.com/news/3119345/andreescu-battles-past-raducanu-in-marquee-miami-opener) was characterised by her strong play on big points, and that quality shone through again.

We're a few days into the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, and the second half of the Sunshine Double has been fun thus far.

And these are great odds to win a set against an opponent that is ranked similarly. With that said, it’s hard to see Mertens as a player that is capable of beating somebody like Martic in straight sets right now. Shelton already has one of the most dangerous serves in tennis, and that is going to be an even bigger asset on these fast courts. Mannarino is a very sturdy player in every area of the game, but he just doesn’t have the weapons and raw power to beat a guy like Shelton in these conditions. It’s a little surprising to see that Shelton is only a -170 favorite against Mannarino. While that might make you want to back Cerundolo in this match, we should point out that a lot of pressure comes with a result like that.

I'm trying to be as fearless as I can be. Open triumph, denied Sakkari any chance to find her rhythm as she fought to a 5-7 6-3 6-4 victory in three hours. The Canadian held to love to open the second set and then consolidated a break for a 4-1 lead en route to forcing a decider where she went up a double break for another 4-1 lead that she would not surrender. Sakkari got the upper hand in the first set with a superb passing shot to break Andreescu for a 4-3 lead but could not hold serve in the next game despite racing out to a 40-0 lead as the Canadian fought back to level at 4-4.

With Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal both absent, the Miami Open is a showcase for a new generation of men's tennis, led by Carlos Alcaraz.

The 22-year-old Canadian, who won the 2019 US Open and now sits outside the top 30 of the Women’s Tennis Association rankings, will face Sofia Kenin in Round 3 this weekend.

2021 French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova and 2019 US Open champion Bianca Andreescu are looking sharp through the early days of the Miami Open.

Keys was a 6-3, 6-2 winner over Krejcikova in the quarterfinals of last year’s Australian Open. After easing her way through qualifying into the main draw, Muchova has been dominant through her two matches in Miami. In all, Krejcikova beat five of the Top 15 players en route to her first WTA 1000 title. Both players are trying to regain the dizzying altitude that defined their early careers. There’s also the matter of a 1-0 head-to-head advantage. “So I think it’s going to be an interesting matchup.” Still, every ending brings a new beginning and the possibilities in Sunday’s third round are intriguing. Frech came back to defeat wildcard Erika Anddreeva 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 and now faces Varvara Gracheva, the qualifier who upset Jabeur. I like it. This is a battle of two resurgent talents who both made the quarterfinals at Indian Wells last week. Late last month, Krejcikova scored a rare triple, defeating the top-three-ranked players in Dubai -- Swiatek (in the final), Sabalenka (quarterfinals) and Jessica Pegula (semifinals). There are seven unseeded players among the 16 remaining in the bottom half and three matches featuring two of them, not to mention a lucky loser.
