Day 6 of the Miami Open completed the last 16 match-ups for the top half of the women’s draw… and they are all decent! Saturday saw three come-from-behind victories including two more third set tiebreaks, of which there have been plenty in Miami. For Sunday’s order of play, two previews are up on Moo’s Tennis…
Nicole Gibbs will be seeking to replicate her performance in Indian Wells by reaching the last 16 of the Miami Open when she takes on the number four seed, Garbiñe Muguruza on Sunday.

Just a couple of years ago, Indian Wells and Miami weren’t televised until the first Sunday so it’s a big improvement. This post is skipping ahead (i’m busy tonight!) and covers two…
