But who is she dating? THAT is far more important news...

It looks like Miami does not have any courts with a roof...

wtf? When is the Zverev vs Fils match going to be played? Did they explain why they did this? It has the look of tournament management favoritism of some sort, or is it an expectation of adverse weather? (This messes up my attempts to create the list of matches for the practice survivor pool, but not terribly so. It just creates a small amount of unnecessary confusion.)

De Minaur forces a second set TB against Berrettini after saving multiple match points

Berrettini is dripping wet. Literally dripping wet.

However he takes the match 6-3, 7-6(7)

Eala takes out Swiatek in straight sets.

My theory is that los to Keys in AO SF's has affected Iga a lot.
