Azarenka Edges Past Alexandrova
Three-time Miami Open champion began her 2022 challenge by winning an edge-of-the-seat thriller against Ekaterina Alexandrova in the second round.
The 12th seed, who struck just two aces against Alexandrova’s nine, faced 22 break points in the match, saving 16 of them. She too had plenty of break points, converting five of 12.
The match, which lasted two hours and 45 minutes, swung from one end to other. Both players pulled a break back once in the first set before Azarenka got the decisive third break to seal the first set. Alexandrova came back in the second, breaking the World No. 16 twice to force the deciding set.
Alexandrova went down a break on two occasions in the third set, but she made a gritty comeback on both the occasions taking the set to the tiebreak. There were plenty of minibreaks in the tiebreak before Azarenka finally outlasted Alexandrova 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (7-5).
A champion in 2009, 2011 and 2015, the 32-year-old Azarenka is chasing a 22nd career title. The win in the second round improved her season record to 8-4.

Fruhvirtova, 16, Continues to Impress
Sixteen-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova continued her impressive run in Miami as she knocked out No. 20 seed Elise Mertens to move into the third round.
Ranked No. 279th in the world, Fruhvirtova was broken in the first game of the match, but she broke back immediately and then again to take the first set against the Belgian. However, teh World No. 24 wasn’t going down easily as she outplayed the Czech in the next set to take the match into the third set.
The up and coming star raised her game in the third and dominated the set by breaking Mertens twice before wrapping the two-hour contest 7-5, 2-6, 6-1.
This was Fruhvirtova’s first top 25 win and second against a top 100 players in the tournament after she overpowered World No. 66 Danka Kovinic 6-0, 6-4 in the first round.
This is the first time the 16-year-old is competing in a WTA 1000 event, having a received a wild card for the tournament and she has already made an impression. Can she pull off another upset on Sunday?
