Interesting contrast between Raducanu and Rybakina..apart from their games...power vs defence etc..one can't keep a coach, and the other can't get rid of one!

Andreeva will need a good draw..if she gets through a couple of rounds she will be fine..it isn't lack of energy that will beat her, just the fact that she will need time to adjust to the conditions. Same goes for Sabalenka...Bencic and Rybakina didn't last long enough at IW so they will be fresh ..I still think one of them will win ..
The men- really, it is between Med znd Alcaraz..I would be surprised if anyone else wins .

You may be, two Sundays from now.
How hard can it be for a top professional to adjust from a hard court in California to a hard court in Miami?

There is a god.
And, actually, Andreeva and Iga in the same quarter. Just to annoy her.

Andreeva is in Pegula/Navarro quarter (3rd quarter). Swiatek is in the 4th quarter (with Keys)

Aah, you fell for it!!! You did not read the draw correctly!
Mirra is in the third quarter, so she is in Iga's half. But ERIKA is in the 4th quarter, so she is in Iga's quarter.
I was being silly. Just that.

I thought Kyrgios was done because of his wrist?

He changes his mind daily.

The random IMG wild cards are actually performing well this year.

How hard can it be for a top professional to adjust from a hard court in California to a hard court in Miami?

It is all muscle memory after all..does take some time to unlearn and learn. Miami seems much faster, the humidity makes it hard to breathe..so yes, the deeper you went in IW, the harder it will be in Miami.

Reilley Opelka should not be permitted to dress himself.

Rybakina seems to be spiralling downwards

Meanwhile, Coco drops a double bagel on Kenin
