Canadian teen Victoria Mboko had the biggest day of her young career Wednesday in Miami, beating the very solid Camila Osorio and posting her first win at the WTA level – never mind the WTA 1000 level.

Now, it was back to reality and to the grind. She got No. 10 seed Paula Badosa, and that’s a step up. And she wasn’t that far away from pulling it off, losing in a third-set tiebreak.

Beyond that, No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek is on court, as well as Pegula, Navarro, Muchova, Anisimova, Shnaider and Indian Wells champion Mirra Andreeva.

Navarro (in a third-set tiebreak to Raducanu) and Shnaider are out.

Loaded day.
