Wow, 22+ minute tiebreaker, and Kvitova wins it, 16-14. Come on, Petra!

Pretty good tie break. Kvitova playing her best tennis in a few years time.

 

[tossip]

OMG.. Petra is playing like she saw Radek in the stands.

4 return winners by Kvitova.

 

[Moxie]

I had to run out at 2-0 Kvitova, and now it's 5-2 already! Is that the difference in confidence/relaxation v. the let-down of losing such a tight TB? I don't take Rybakina as one to just go away.

Kvitova's playing out of her mind! She hasn't been this good in years! Bravo! She WINS Miami!

 

[Hoergren]

Pretty good match - and - Oh Petra YOU WON - congrats

I'd say both, but Kvitova was just swinging freely in the 2nd set and when she serves like this opponent doesn't have much of a chance.

I'm gladly surprised by her level of play here.

I’m really happy for Petra! I would love for her to sneak in another slam win.

Rybakina must be exhausted..

Rybakina must be exhausted..

The Sunshine Dub ain't easy! If it were, we'd have more successful campaigns to do it! Djokovic (4x) & Fed (3) still the kings of the accomplishment!

Rybakina's loss means that Coco Gauff's world ranking will not drop.

Just finished watching the womens final between Petra and Elena
Wow Petra you served lights out in the final today and I was delighted how you hung in there in the TB
A much deserved title and your 30th in fact. I have met Petra at a Sydney tournament many years ago, she is delightful and everyone really likes and admires her both on and off the court.
I never really thought Elena looked comfortable in Miami, even though this court suited her to a tee.Credit to her for making the final.
Both ladies have huge serves and big fhand hands, though playing a lefty like Petra can be difficult, just ask Elena.
So proud of your Petra! and with this win your back in the Top 10!

Ladies Doubles Final
Not before 3.30pm, Sunday 2nd April,

No 2 seeds Gauff/ Pegula vs Fernandez/ Townsend

 

[the AntiPusher]

I think Gauff/Pegula will get it done.

I'm going with Lil Bit and the best doubles player out of the four TT..I'm sticking with the lefties

Elena will be fine, she has now No 7 in the WTA rankings with her finalist points, interesting to see how she goes on clay

Kvitova has already a legendary status. People love her. And she kicked the ass of that burglar. She's a lioness.
