MIAMI – There certainly would have been a waft of fresh air, of newness, had rookie Alexandra Eala been part of the women’s singles final.

But there was also a very real possibility she’d be overwhelmed, and that it would be a one-sided affair.

With Jessica Pegula, Aryna Sabalenka played someone she has a terrific record against. But also an opponent who may well make it a fair fight. Maybe.

The way Sabalenka has been playing, it might have taken a literal freight train to stop her although Pegula gave it a good go.
