Most but not all matches were completed from the second round on Saturday at the
Miami Open which means that the
schedule isn't yet back to normal levels and a stacked day is upon us once again in Florida.
Our preview looks ahead to the main matches and main talking points to watch ahead of the end of the first week in Miami with
Iga Swiatek,
Coco Gauff,
Daniil Medvedev and
Jannik Sinner all in action.
Gauff, Sinner, Swiatek and Medvedev lead Stadium line-up, Fernandez-Pegula headline outside courts
On Stadium on Sunday, there is a myriad of matches and top names. Coco Gauff was the only player who realistically benefited from the rain. She sped through against Nadia Podoroska only half an hour before it started with that being her plan all along and as a result while others played two games in two days, she had a day off. She returns to face Oceane Dodin first up.
Holger Rune facing Fabian Marozsan is one of the only second round ties left and that will follow before Jannik Sinner headlines the day session. He faces Tallon Griekspoor. He looked superb yesterday not facing a break point in his opening win and so will look to carry that on. Iga Swiatek is the main star in the night session as the World Number One plays for a second night in a row. Again it will be Linda Noskova for the Pole who awaits for the third time this season. Similar to Naomi Osaka who faces Caroline Garcia on Grandstand, it is another peculiar draw that keeps happening. Cameron Norrie facing Daniil Medvedev completes the deal on Stadium.
Over on Grandstand are perhaps the more popcorn ties with Ben Shelton facing rising talent, Martin Landaluce who alongside Martin Damm Jr are one of two players with wildcards to make strides. Leylah Fernandez facing Jessica Pegula is perhaps one of the matches of the day and takes place following that as is Caroline Garcia facing Naomi Osaka like alluded to once again. Elina Avanesyan dumping out Ons Jabeur means that she will face Danielle Collins also on Grandstand before another class tie as Casper Ruud faces Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Andy Murray, Alex de Minaur, Grigor Dimitrov and Jasmine Paolini are among the other players in action on further outside courts. Another day of wherever you look, top ties will take place.
