The fifth seed showed little inconsistency in the first set, moving her opponent around the court as she hit shots at will to clinch the opening set.

Nonetheless, Fruhvirtova shocked the Miami crowd as she quickly broke the Spaniard to lead 2-0 in the second set. Any thoughts of a comeback were quickly vanquished as Badosa immediately broke back, before obtaining another break to put the match out of her opponent's reach. The 2021 Indian Wells champion closed out the match after an hour and 22 minutes, ending the World No.279's dream run in the round of 16.
Awaiting Badosa in the quarterfinals is American Jessica Pegula, as the World No.21 defeated Ukrainian Anhelina Kalinina in their fourth round encounter.
