Tennis: TENNIS: 2025 Edition -- Game, Set, Match

Friend of mine was going to catch some matches in Miami but now has cancelled because of the craziness going on south of the border. We live in some strange times.

Fernandez with a straight set win over the wildly inconsistent Parks. Maybe Leylah can put a few of these together as the court seems to suit her.

18 year old Victoria Mboko got a WC into Miami and made the most of it today! She won her opening match in 3 sets. Quite a debut to a WTA1000.

She went 3 today and lost to Badosa. She was down 5-2, I believe, in the third but came back.

I saw a bit of Djokovic and he won the first set 6-0 against someone who looked like an above average club player. Djokovic won the second set in a breaker. He looks like Rafa did in his last year.

Carlos loses his first match in Miami to Goffin in three sets. He had to come from a break down to take the first set and then it was downhill from there, getting broken in the ninth game of the second set and twice in the deciding set. 28 unforced errors on his forehand and a serve that has speed but not accuracy didn't help.
