Surprising that it rained. It's completely sunny here with rain not expected until tonight. But I am 3 hours away, so there is that

Rain didnt last long thank goodness, though apparently Friday and Saturday a not looking good weather wise

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Tough one for Caroline Wozniacki,
Was up 5-2, MP at 5-4 then BPs to force a TB, not to be, Kalinina 7-5 2nd set. Wozniacki 75 1st set
Going 3

 

[kskate2]

what is happening to Woz? She keeps losing these winnable matches.

 

[Hoergren]

Well what a brilliant match in those windy conditions. Woz has not the ultimate condition yet but now she can play a 3 setter. Good match for both players with the Ukranian a bit better - congrats to her

I dont think her foot (toe) has healed she had that injury in IW and there were reports that she might withdraw.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Noticed that Gauff/Pegula lost in 3 sets in their 1st R1 doubles match to Krueger/Stephens 63 16 10-8
Probably for the best, both Jess and Coco need to concentrate on their singles level of play after the tournament at IW

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Maria Sakkari wants to continue her good form from IW into Miami tournament
Lets pray to the 'tennis gods' she dosent make the final I am not prepared to go through the final from IW again!
Anyway I will check the scores later when I get home off to work

 

[Moxie]

Ostapenko in good form, and, for once, doesn't look like her dress got made out of old curtains.

 

[kskate2]

red foolery is back. Who is he cheering for? The ex or the U.S.youngster?

red foolery is back. Who is he cheering for? The ex or the U.S.youngster?

He's a mystery. Maybe he just likes tennis. But now he has crossed the country. This match is tight.

 

[Moxie]

Break to Azarenka, now serving at 3-2.

 

[Moxie]

Stearns 50 winners to Azarenka's 16. Stearns saw the trainer, and seems to be suffering right arm/elbow. This is a battle royale.

 

[Moxie]

Azarenka wins it. It was a crackerjack match. Tough loss for Stearns, and hope the elbow won't be a problem.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Apparently Red Foo was in Stearns box again this is becoming a habit
Hopefully the weather dosent ruin matches tomorrow, as rain is expected
Gauff, Swiatek, Pegula, Sabalenka, Svitolina and Jabeur ( for the life of me why is she playing Miami, she is not 100% healthy) wont be surprised if she dosent get far again in Miami

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Organizers said no tennis before 1pm, but the commies said that is 'wishful thinking'

Marta Kostyuk has withdrawn. LL Dodin takes her place and gets a bye to the 2nd round

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Weather update play not before 3pm

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Doubles play has been cancelled in Miami today

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yay some matches have started, courts are dry and the skies are cloudy
