Proud of our week in Miami 🏆 #10 But it’s never a nice way to finish a match... Wishing Bianca a speedy recovery! The first of many matches for us I’m sure!
"Not the way you want to finish" - Barty after winning 2021 Miami Open

Ashleigh Barty won the 2021 Miami Open successfully defending her title from 2019 and after it, she spoke to the media.
It was a strong performance from Barty in the opening set which she won with 6-3 before Andreescu suffered an injury in the 2nd set and was forced to retire. After the match Barty reflected on that:
"It's never the way you ever want to finish a match, particularly in a final. I really do feel for Bianca. I think she's had such a rough trot with injuries in the past."
On a happier note Barty expects to see much more of Andreescu in the future saying:
"I think that's going to be one of the first of many battles for us. I just hope from now on they are healthy and we can both stay out on the court and fight for everything that we can give. Obviously, I feel for her having to pull out today."
It was a rough start for Barty at the Miami Open as she had to save a match point in the earlier rounds before overcoming tough obstacles like Azarenka. On that run she said:
"I felt like with each match I have been playing better and better, which is ultimately what we are after. To be able to have the title at the end is a bonus, and to be able to defend my title the first time in my career I've been able to do that is really, really special too."
Barty will continue her campaign in the US at the 2021 Volvo Car Open in Charleston. Being the top seed and playing on clay should give Barty a good chance to win another trophy but the field is very strong and it will be tough.
