Katie has a 1-0 H2H vs Townsend - ie her Rancho Santa Fe 25K 6-3 7-5 win last month, which against the then WR 97 Townsend represents her CH win.

Having apparently mucked up in announcing 8 qwcs for a 48 women draw meant to be made up of at least 42 direct entries and at most 6 WCs ( as mentioned at the end of the Irapuato 25K thread ) the organisers appear to have struck extremely lucky that Lottner and Vinci have ended up making the qualifying draw without the need of qwcs. Was looking forward to qualifying WC play-offs or to see who could be paid off the cheapest!

Heather draws Haddad-Maria, again.

Jo plays winner of Flipkens v Buzarnescu

This is likely to be the start of a rankings drop for Jo - hopefully temporarily but she is defending huge points here.

First Round: Naomi Osaka v. Serena Williams!

Johanna's draw looks reasonably inviting to the fourth round; Mertens having dropped off her better form.
But, then, Jo has similarly fallen, probably further.
After this fortnight, if it goes to form, perhaps the lessened attention from being a mid-ranked player again, will prove beneficial somehow. I'm reaching here.

The thing is now, even Buzarnescu looks a pretty tough 2nd round match up. Type of match she would have won 7 or  8 months ago, but now, not so sure. Fingers crossed and it's obviously by no means a nightmare potential opener but she did recently lose to a lower ranked Romanian with a tendency to slice.

Serena vs Osaka is a match up not to be missed!

Jo, down 3 places to WR 14 in the 19/03 rankings, will with her 1,000 points taken off, start off in Miami with a live ranking of 23.

Re the non seed contest between Serena and Osaka ( the WTA, unlike the ATP, don't use the updated rankings for the Indian Wells and Miami seedings so Naomi doesn't yet get the benefit of her IW title ), (4) Svitolina is the seed that awaits the winner. Nice little section

The good news is that Miami is only 4 hours behind and the matches start at 10am over there, so 2pm here and there's 5 matches on a court so I think the latest the final matches will start will be around 11pm our time and that's if there are a lot of close 3 setters preceding it.

 

Boulter is the fifth and final match on her court so will be around that  time, a lot earlier if some of the matches are over quick. There'll be no streams but we'll be able to follow live scores rather than waking up to a result or staying up until ridiculous hours.

Round 4 for Jo in this tournament - positive step in the right direction? I would say so.

Sorry to be a pedant, but the title line for this thread reads "A Miami " as opposed to just plain old Miami - I am guessing it is the only one?!

 Just looking at Naomi v Dodin. 3 of there H2H results are on grass in the UK; Quebec is also a notoriously quick surface, fast indoor carpet I believe, certainly fast. 

Miami tends to play slow as it is quite humid this time of year so many of those match ups wont be relevant but it is probably endouraging that Naomi won the one on clay in Madrid quite handily. Clutching at straws??!

Naomi should be on shortly. The match before Naomi's finally ended after Martincove recovered from 5-0 down in the third set against Errani (4)
