Andy Murray will soldier on without the benefit of advice from coach Ivan Lendl as the Scot explained the reason behind his split with the mentor who led him to his two grand slam titles and the London Olympic gold medal.
An important victory for Kirsten Flipkens, who was defending quarterfinalist points. Even with the win, she is far from clinching her Top 25 spot.
Carlos Berlocq is another guy who may not have been ready to play. The good news is, he wasn't defending anything; the bad news is, the loss will leave him not much above #60.
We love Miami. Always have. Miami on a pretty day is spectacular. Life on the Islands and Bays are fun too. Traffic is terrible but what else is new ? We are @ the Sony Open but we are hardly impressed by their list of daily celebs ! It's Miami where are the real housewives of Miami ?
Boris Becker planned reunion with world no.2 Novak Djokovic at the Sony Open has been postponed because the 46 year-old German has fallen ill.
Common sense finally seems to have prevailed as world no.8 Juan Martin Del Potro has withdrawn from the Sony Open in Miami with an ongoing problem in his left wrist.
A very minor upset, based on the rankings -- but an interesting one, because these two are both very inconsistent players. We had no idea what to expect.
With no seeds in action on the first day of men's play, the biggest news was probably off-court. Juan Martin del Potro's wrist is still acting up, and he was forced to pull out -- nice news for Rafael Nadal, who was drawn to face him in the quarterfinal. The news came late enough that del Potro is being replaced in the draw by Lucky Loser Benjamin Becker; there is no seed promotion.
Top seed and holder Williams will open on Thursday in the second round after a bye against Yaroslava Shvedova, who beat former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone 6-4, 6-2 in first-round play. Ukrainian Elina Svitolina put out American Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
The Andy Murray/Ivan Lendl relationship as player and celebrity coach, that set the trend for Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and several other top flight players to follow, sensationally came to an end today with the news the pair are to part after an exemplary two years that realized Olympic gold, the US Open and Wimbledon titles.
Alexandr Dolgopolov's run at the BNP Paribas Open, which included a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(5) third-round upset of Rafael Nadal, came to an end on Saturday with a 6-3, 6-1 semifinal loss to Roger Federer.
The statistics for these two were almost eerily similar. Going into Novak Djokovic's fifth service game of the third set, each had five aces, and each had put in 65% of first serves. Djokovic had won only one more point. And Djokovic had had only one more break...
If Serena Williams is going to turn her slightly disappointing 2014 around, now would be a perfect time to start. After Miami, the Tour turns to surfaces where she is ever so slightly less comfortable, plus she is playing right in her own back yard, and she's defending champion, so she has strong reason to want to do well.
Boris Becker was certainly in need of some good news from afar as he sat in his Wimbledon home and watched Novak Djokovic win the BNP Paribas Open title in Indian Wells. The absent German had just lost an expensive Spanish court case that will result in a Majorcan villa he has owned for 17 years being confiscated and set to be auctioned off for a predicted 7.1 million euros...
