Gets the win with a beautiful lob

Ok. 7th match points for Zarazua

this Zarazua service game against Baptiste is absolute MADNESS

This game … ninth deuce

Hailey playing these match points so well Saved six so far

“Trifecta of death: clay, lactic acid and short slices” Petko + Chanda is a delightful duo

This is a really fun match

What a classic clay court point

POINT!

Only Sonya Kenin could look that shade of disgusted after winning a match 😂 Vintage flashes of Bianca, though

🌴☀️🏆

One point from a first set tiebreaker and it starts raining

Coco honestly played great today and in this tournament. this was always gonna be a hard one for her to win but i am immensely proud of her for her play this entire tournament. forehand and serve are much, much improved. it’s only up from here!!

Started with a injured arm and fought her way to a career best Miami tournament to make the final (and won the only set off Aryna across IW & Miami)

How is a Miami crowd worse than night session USO

I told y’all Never Underestimate Coco Gauff

Third set! Coco Gauff, the player you are

Another big hold from Coco Crowd really seems to be getting behind her

Big hold from Coco

Second doubles SF retirement due to Mertens illness Backend of Miami has not been great

Yikes, Elise 😔

Look, the doubles SF earlier today had a deciding match tiebreak Just … those do still exist

Miami really the tournament of Djokosmashes without any Djoko

Ok, let’s unplug the tennis and plug it back in tomorrow, yes?

Really looking like it’s going to be fully straight set matches today

Can Sabalenka/Rybakina redeem this day of matches

Love Coco and Karolina, but … not this match-up

This match point: second serve, dropshot, forehand winner to take it.

Coco Gauff essentially saying she probably wouldn’t have played Miami because of the arm except for the fact that it’s her home tournament, then getting to the semis for the first time, is so classically Coco Gauff Such RG 2025 vibes

#heart Coco Gauff on the camera lens

I love that two match points today had dropshots

What a way to win it Coco!!

Watching Coco fight her way back into matches never gets old

This third set … where both players have fallen

She’s taking Miami

Match point was gorgeous; vintage Muchova

And Baptiste!!!

Coco! Vicky! Karolina! A good R16 day

Love that we’re getting so much Mirra/Vicky this year

Oooh the net broke in Andreeva/Mboko?

😲

Confused by Carlitos scoreline but also appears normal service is being resumed?

I am watching and the play/behavior is also very on brand for both players

Carlos Alcaraz wins 6-4, 6-4 against Joao Fonseca Was a fun Round 2 but unlike the Sinner IW match, it was never in doubt. The main reason for that is the Sinner match was pure power, Alcaraz at times threw in variety which exposed Fonseca's movement more than at IW. 📸 Taya Gray/The Desert Sun

Twas fun, Fonseca held his own for the most part. He looks unafraid of the top guys, which is great. Future matches between the two should be fun 🥰

Realized this must be one the few times Alcaraz has played someone younger than himself?

Breaks to open the second set with a dropshot

Whooooo boy Alcaraz wants to show who's boss. There's just a different pop off his racquet to start than against normal players, he's rushing the net, doing everything he can to mess with Fonseca's rhythm. It's working to this point, but Fonseca's serve hasn't been much of a platform so far.

Trying to remember the last time Alcaraz didn’t have the crowd on his side
