Serena Williams endured another tough match on Saturday as she spent over two and half hours on court with Caroline Garcia. The Frenchwoman put in a spirited performance and hung around terrifically well in the third set before Serena closed out the match in style, 6-4 4-6 6-4. In other news, Sabine Lisicki’s rough luck…
After an excellent week of coverage from Indian Wells, Miami is already starting to take quite a bit of flack with its lack of streams for the WTA tour. On Thursday, there were just two streamed WTA matches, which seems rather pathetic for a Premier Mandatory event. In general, Miami really seems to have regressed,…

The women’s tournament has been strange, but the the men’s has been completely wackadoodle. Who would of thought that Alexandr Dolgopolov, Milos Raonic, Ernests Gulbis, Kevin Anderson, John Isner and Julien Benneteau would ALL make the quarter-finals of Indian Wells. Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are the only top eight seeds remaining in the draw. …
