Schedule and Preview Miami Open 2025 Day Six: Andreeva-Anisimova, Djokovic and Swiatek among highlights
WTA
The Miami Open continues on Sunday as Last 16 spots will be set. The schedule is now confirmed with the line-up led by Mirra Andreeva v Amanda Anisimova, Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic.
It has been a tournament of shocks so far albeit more on the men's side with all of the semi-finalists at Indian Wells skittled out. Djokovic in particular will be salivating at the prospect of winning the title from here.
He is third up on Sunday on Stadium and faces Camilo Ugo Carabelli who got through to this tournament as a Lucky Loser. This is prior to perhaps the best Men's tie of the day as Stefanos Tsitsipas faces off against Sebastian Korda. Albeit as the Head to Head stats shows, it is a tie which hasn't been played in four years.
Back then Tsitsipas got the better of Korda sealing a 7-6, 6-3 victory over the American on home soil in Cincinnati. Tsitsipas has had a resurgence of sorts as of late so will hope to continue that on against Korda.

Swiatek opens against Mertens as Andreeva headlines
Iga Swiatek opens up the session on Stadium against Elise Mertens in a tie which in reality feels like it would've been played about 10 times but it has only been the once and that was last year.
It was won by Iga Swiatek on the indoor clay courts of Stuttgart so is an interesting complexion. Mertens took down Peyton Stearns last round 6-4, 6-1 while Swiatek seems to have the knack at the moment of easing through the opening few rounds before falling apart in the semi-finals or the final.
But she has been getting in these positions albeit as the former all conquering force of the WTA, she will want to win. While Mirra Andreeva faces Amanda Anisimova prior to Tommy Paul ending the session on Stadium.
Andreeva just keeps on rolling and scarily didn't take a backward step against Veronika Kudermetova last round up. She faces a different task though from a faded light to a player who was a recent title winner in Doha.
Anisimova is very much a player though who has had this form in fits and starts. On her day she has been incredible and back to her best which is what she will want when she takes on Andreeva on Sunday. But she also has lost in the last two tournaments early albeit to Belinda Bencic and McCartney Kessler two of the most in-form players on tour right now.
But what happens when she battles Andreeva? They've never played Head to Head wise so that is a bit of a malaise. But Andreeva has to be heavily favoured.
Raducanu, Pegula-Kalinskaya and Keys elsewhere
As ever though there are ties to watch wherever you look. That aforementioned Kessler will aim to end the run of Emma Raducanu who now after defeating Emma Navarro seems to find the draw fairly opened up for her.
That is fourth on Sunday with two ties to watch prior to it as Madison Keys jostles with Alexandra Eala in the latter's biggest test. She took down Jelena Ostapenko last round and her long-time boyfriend Coleman Wong made history himself against Ben Shelton last night. So it is very much doing it together. But that could come down to a crashing halt against Keys.
Emma Raducanu aims to continue her run.
Jessica Pegula follows against Anna Kalinskaya in what could be game of the day albeit which Kalinskaya turns up as of late is an interesting one. She claimed her first win since Singapore in January in her opening tie and continues to slide down the rankings. A run in Miami would offer some much needed restbite from that slide.
Casper Ruud concludes proceedings against Alejandro Tabilo. While over on Butch Buchholz, it is opened by a top tie as Karolina Muchova battles Elina Svitolina. The former of course making headlines for helping Victoria Azarenka after a horror injury scene and carrying her bags off court. It is another mother in the next round in Svitolina for the Czech star.
Felix Auger-Aliassime follows against Lorenzo Musetti, while Brandon Nakashima, Gael Monfils follow. Clara Tauson v Paula Badosa is perhaps the pick of the bunch elsewhere when it comes to outer court action between the 20th seed and 10th seed.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
