Tennis never stops. So as the men’s and women’s singles finals are played across the country in the California desert, the qualifying begins at the Miami Open under vastly different weather conditions.
It’ll be 30C – a temperature that used to be regularly reached at the BNP Paribas Open, albeit with a lot less humidity. But not lately.
Canadians in action were Rebecca Marino and Marina Stakusic, and last-minute alternate Carson Branstine. All were one and done.
(Miami is on ET).
