If you can’t get into Miami, it is disheartening how few opportunities there are to play – except at the very entry level ITFs.
It is discouraging, to say the least, for all those who are trying to continue their career during these pandemic times.
Here is next week’s schedule.
The Miami Open continues next week.

About Post Author
Do you know why Pospisil is not playing Miami? And, has Bianca pulled out of another tournament since Leyla Fernandez is the only one listed for Women’s Singles? Tks.
It’s not complete yet – noted at the top. I’m multitasking five things at once.
Fernandez is only four out of the main draw – who knows what will happen in the last 24 hours.
Tks, Steph. I missed the “Not Complete” at the top. Sorry.
No worries. Most of it should be in there now.
As far as I know none of the Canadians has pulled out.
