After a great run at IW, we follow Emma to Florida for the Miami Masters. Presented by Itau it will return to hard rock stadium at Miami gardens as the second event in the sunshine double.

GO EMMA GO! 😍

Hoping for a kind draw here so that Emma can try to pull off another R16 run and gain ground again here. Clearly capable of it, and a similar performance would help lift her back towards the Top 60 or even Top 50 with the clay-court season coming.

Edit: I'd forgotten that Emma lost her opener in Miami last year, making a potential R16 run even more useful in gaining ground. Fingers crossed! A draw that landed her in or around, say, Azarenka/Kudermetova's section would be handy for example.

Hopefully Miaimi is speeded up this year.

IW as a travesty in speed, slowest it has ever been, and that night time match no matter how hard emma hit made no difference just stuck in the grit. She will be happier in Miami, hopefully a bit warmer as well.

Hope for a decent draw

Yes a decent draw is the most important thing. If Emma can bring the same form into Miami she should be favourite to win against the majority (possibly even the vast majority) of the non-seeded players. 🙂

Yes! Not a long wait until the next match! Go Emma go!

Yes hopefully the draw gods will be kind to Emma.

The tournament director has dropped hints that Miami will be faster this year 🤞

Not possible to be worse than IW this year, at night was worse than Rome. Maybe the ATP paris masters tragic but thats ATP.

If Emma can bring the same IW form into Miami she should be favourite to win against most players. Iga is just a different level than anybody else at this moment. I am very pleased with how Emma has been playing.

It was faster last year, hopefully even faster this year.

I thought only @xenosys made these 🫣 perhaps he can add his usual data somewhere

The draw was on Monday for Indian wells.

Same deal as Indian wells. Impossible to draw a top 32 in round 1 but guaranteed to play a top 32 in round 2. I hope Emma is in the bottom half of the draw.

 

[Papasoni]

It was faster last year, hopefully even faster this year.

Miami was very slow last year. We will have an idea when the qualies start.

I do remember it being unusually slow last year. Not IW slow, but enough that it was difficult to get the ball through the court. Hopefully it's a bit quicker this year.

Isn't the tournament director James Blake?

It's cool Geolutin does a good job anyway.
