Coco Gauff faces Sofia Kenin in Miami opener

Coco Gauff, an American tennis star, started strong at the beginning of January but has struggled since then. Recently, she had a moderate performance at Indian Wells. Now, she's set to play Sofia Kenin in the first round of the WTA 1000 tournament in Miami. Both players are Grand Slam champions, which makes the match exciting. Linda Fruhvirtova faces Beatriz Haddad Maia next. Fruhvirtova's ranking has dropped, and she is currently outside the Top 200. Haddad Maia has had a tough year, winning only two matches so far. Fruhvirtova is seen as having a chance to surprise. Daria Kasatkina will play against Hailey Baptiste. Kasatkina has quietly been performing well, despite not being a favorite for this Miami event. She has previously defeated Baptiste and is expected to win this match confidently. Maria Sakkari is also in action, taking on Lucia Bronzetti. Sakkari’s ranking has fallen after not defending her past achievements. This match is important for her to regain momentum, and she is favored to win against Bronzetti. Overall, Gauff is seen as vulnerable but has the potential to win against a resurgent Kenin. Predictions suggest Gauff will win in three sets.
