I have soo much respect for Saabalenka playing Miami, even though she was defeated today in 3 sets by Kalinina 61 16 61, take your time to fully process your thoughts and emotions Saba!

I am hoping that Sakkari reaches the final and finally beat IGA.

I cant see that happening, not after the final at IW, she gets to finals and mentally goes walk about she is still needy sad to say

Maybe Witt will talk some sense into her.She really deserves to be in the top five and bump off Pegula.

Lets see how she fares this year with Witt, he can only do soo much, on court it is up to Maria, she still looks to him I have noticed, maybe it is a 'bad habit' she got into with her former coach Hill.I remember in the final at IW she said to him ' I dont know what to do'? though Iga was playing at another level in that final.

Margaret do you know that Coco and Shelton are bullying Tiafoe.I am so disappointed with Coco and she gives of the Christian persona but says unchristian stuff about Tiafoe.Since Ben came on tour she is joining him in making fun of Tiafoe in a cruel way.I hope this is not what's causing Tiafoe to look depressed and not playing well.

Tossip, no I did not know that, why for goodness sakes, I thought they all got along, well Tiafoe has not been playing well for sometime., hasnt he got a new coach?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Decisive win from Emma Navarro (20) over Jasmine Paolini (12) handing her a bagel in the 3rd set, 26 62 60
Earlier Cirstea (19) defeated Daria Kasatkina (10) in straight sets 75 62

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco Gauff powers past Odin 64 60 matching her career best Miami result, next up Osaka or Garica

I saw it on my phone and shocked and not shocked.I hope they are not doing this because of Tiafoe's humble background .Shelton even called that guy that made noise at Wimbledon "boy".I know Ben is a right wing but for Coco to join in is disappointing.Tiafoe is close to Serena because of the Ghanaian connection and his gf was in their movie.Coco is like Scone..birds of the same feather.

Well that is disappointing, I expected more from Coco, hopefully she will distance herself from Ben, who is getting on my nerves at present I have to say, he is talented, but too full of himself, I understand as a player you have to 'believe in yourself' though he takes it to the extremes on the court I am afraid.

He is beyond annoying and I hope he plays Rune,and try to intimidate him or play Fognini.He should have played with the likes of Almagro and Verdasco and get a lesson from these rough riders.

Ben's game still has flaws in it, his return game for starters, I feel he needs a proper coach, other than his dad, his return game has been exposed by higher ranked players,

The father eggs him on when he is being obnoxious.I noticed today that he is gaining weight and seems slow to the ball.He should play Rublev, Medvedev and Zverev to test his return game.He thinks he is in the league of say Sinner or Alcaraz.He is skipping the Olympics because he wants to focus on winning the USOpen..

I read that he is not playing the Olympics, but I didnt know it is because he wants to focus on winning the USO this year, lol! I cant see Ben winning the USO this year.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Why is it when Garcia plays Osaka she lifts her level and plays tough tennis, her serve was good today when needed
Garcia d Osaka in 2 tight sets 76(4) 75
I wish Caroline would play like this in all her matches

 

[Hoergren]

Brilliant match it's like they bring the best when they meet - this time it was Garcia but Naomi is playing better and better - here are the stats - lots of aces
