The Miami Open gave us surprises in both the ATP and WTA draws, with the lowest ranked men's final at the tournament since 1985. Hubert Hurkacz and Jannik Sinner both made their Masters 1000 final debuts, with the Polish star running out eventual winner after a dominant performance in the final. This maiden title takes Hubie to 16th in the rankings, whilst Sinner moves up to 23rd at only the age of 19 - god we're both old.

Ash Barty defended her 2019 (yes, 2019) Miami Open crown in a convincing fashion with wins over Victoria Azarenka, Aryna Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina before a walkover in the final against Bianca Andreescu. Andreescu was on court for over 10 hours before sadly succumbing to an injury, but stole the show this week alongside Coco, her camera-shy dog.

Sebastian Korda made waves with his first top-10 victory over, you guessed it, Diego Schwartzman. He just loves giving these upcoming stars their first big wins (FAO Musetti and Karatsev).

Karatsev couldn't expand on his Dubai winning form, but the latest 'Race to Turin' ranking see's him up in 5th alongside the likes of Djokovic, Medvedev and Fucsovics - fresh off completing the Fucsovics-Rublev trilogy.

Sakkari had yet another outstanding tournament, bagelling Naomi Osaka in the quarterfinals whilst also having great matches against Samsonova and Pegula - the latest in a long line of talented young Americans on the WTA.

Halep couldn't overcome a shoulder injury that plagued her since her opening match, a day which saw her, Barty, Sabalenka and Elina all face a bit of trouble in their opening sets. 

But the real winner was Svitolina herself, tying the knot with Gael Monfils after a turbulent few months and bagged herself (potentially) a new car from the same old man. Points to Defend and Milos Raonic are three very happy people #July2021
