MIAMI, Fla. –   The schedule is different in Miami than it was in Indian Wells, in that the women’s qualifying began on Sunday and the main draw on Tuesday, while the men’s qualifying began Monday and the main draw on Wednesday.

The women’s main draw begins, with two Canadians in the lineup: Rebecca Marino and Katherine Sebov.

Sebov qualified in impressive fashion over the last few days. Both got the job done.
