A comparison of IW with Madrid could be interesting...conditions in both are slow off the ground and fast through the air ..
In fact, though results have been very different..Sabalenka has been to the finals 4 of Madrid 4 times in the last 5 years, winning 3times..has been to the IW finals only once ..Swiatek has won it twice. The ATP side is a mess.. very strange results.
I am astonished Sabalenka has not won IW yet..would have thought it is a natural fit..

Venus playing doubs with Leylah ..good for both, I think..venus should actually play only doubles LF also could consider becoming a doubles specialist.

How are conditions fast through the air at Miami? You are at 0 MOSL, and it is March, when the air is still "cold" (for Miami). Please expand.

The comparison was to Indian Wells, not Miami
