Canadian No. 1 Leylah Fernandez took the court along with the rest of the seeds in the top half as the Miami Open got going in earnest.

She got a rematch with the mercurial Alycia Parks, who shocked her in Australia at the start of 2024. It was dodgy in the first set but in the end, she got through.

Also on tap: Coco Gauff v Sofia Kenin (a double bagel), reigning champ Danielle Collins vs. Sorana Cirstea in a late match, and Naomi Osaka all the way down on Court 1 vs. Samsonova.

In the end, half the seeds in action went out.
