–

MIAMI, Fla. – The Masters 1000 circus begins again, with the second of back-to-back big events on the “Sunshine Swing”

Amd all of the Canadians will hope to do a little better in singles than they did in the California desert, as they hit the heat and humidity of Miami.

On the plus side, it’s another haven for Canadian snowbirds – especially the Québécois types. And so another friendly atmosphere with plenty of support.

And there are plenty of other players in action this week, with the exceptions of Carol Zhao and Françoise Abanda (who seems to play very rarely these days).
