According to Ace mag on twitter. Three Brits in the MD! I have always loved Miami way more than IW and this just makes me love it even more. More top 10 wins please, girls! :p

Hopefully she will get a kind draw. She will avoid the real big guns as the 32 seeds all get a bye. Nothing to lose and just maybe can pull off an upset. I noticed that Sloane Stephens acquitted herself very well at Indian Wells so anything is possible.
She is certainly using up her wild card allocation for the year pretty quickly. I believe that is now 3 for the year to date so far. Taking Wimby and the US open as an additional 2 I don't know how many that would leave her for the rest of the year.
Yes, would be great if Heather got a good draw and managed to pull off a win here. Will likely be tough whoever she gets though.
Currently 487th in the rankings, and going to move up to probably just outside the top 400 a week on Monday. 50 points for a win here, even allowing for 8 points coming off from Jersey last year, would probably take her to about 315th !
Actually I'm forgetting Mexico 25K this week. Add a couple of MD wins on top of that and she'd possibly be inside the top 300
OK, I'll stop the possibilities there before I have her into the top 200

It is unlikely to be a major problem, as she is entitled to 6 WTA and 6 ITF wildcards this year of which 3 (of each) maximum can be in the main draw. She has taken 2 ITF main draw, so there's only one left in that category.
