–

MIAMI, Fla. – A new week begins, in this slightly chaotic four-week period that’s called the Sunshine Swing.

We’ve carried over the Miami results from the first week, although by Tuesday Leylah Fernandez (with Taylor Townsend in doubles) was the only one left in contention.

They made the final, in only their second tournament together. Good stuff.

Young Gabriel Diallo, who played a $25K on his “home” courts in Montreal a couple of weeks ago, is playing his second Challenger in Europe – this one in Lille, France. He’s into the quarterfinals
